It might be I've misunderstood things somewhat. I apologize for that.

That's a very good question.

I had intended to write an article to submit to either Fidonews or Fidogazette, or both, to explain what this project was. Family health issues sidelined that, I simply couldn't focus on it like it needed.

That's still something I would like to see done. I'm just not sure how quickly I would be able to do so.

Currently, I think there are about 12 echos linked to Telegram. As I've stated previously, August or Stas have received moderator approval prior to the linking.

I definitely think that no more should be added right now.

For simplicities sake, I'm willing to take on responding to any questions people might have.

They can be asked here in this echo, or if people prefer, they can Netmail me @ 2:240/1120.976

I suggest that Net address simply because I see, to be having a small issue with netmail at other points.

With regards to privacy concerns, according to Telegrams Privacy policy, no one can read any messages in the groups except members of the group.

Is this a good start?
