| schestowitz | Awesome stuff. If we get git up and running by year's end, then maybe the code can be committed to it? We currently focus on OS, not just version control. I suggested gitlab (local) at first, but it seems like an overkill for what we need... | Dec 25 08:21 |

| schestowitz | I read the above page carefully and it's not clear to me how that suits donations because donors would need a wallet 'charged' with Taler, so we'd be limited to donations from hardcore GNU people. I can give that a try, but it would not be trivial to set up and maybe nobody would bother with it. Anonymity of donations in our case isn't paramount, we not something like N.R.A. | Dec 25 16:11 |
