I just persuaded the chap running the mailing list to use petidomo vs
the glorified CC list they were using till then. The main code is
written by a chap (woman?) by the name of Tuara (learfox#deltanet,com,
root#taura,ccinet.com). I suspect that she's a 1st or 2nd year
undergrad.
That said, they've got some really neat ideas, an active and fairly
dedicated gang of people working on it, and have goon quite a long way
past the initial working proof-of-concept.
