I'm all for combining the best efforts of various projects (see my own bigge=
r-than-life project at www.liitin.org), I just don't think the outcome is ve=
ry secure if its up to each individual to stitch up all the components toget=
her themselves. I mean, everything necessary is out there right now, but som=
ehow organisations and homes are just worthless :)
