So far I provide outside of freenode.net and outside of Email federation help and support to a small number of people at psyced.org (and also offer to proxy works via myself for people who can not deal with the ways you can participate in Guix). What I really mean will only be clear once I write a thought out text about it. I currently can not focus on this and don't want to participate in a half hearted discussion based on assumptions/interpretations. An Email vs Github discussion is not even close to what my intentions are. thanks, -- ♥Ⓐ ng0 For non-prism friendly talk find me on http://www.psyced.org SecuShare – http://secushare.org
