i have a concern here, afaik, there are many young developers there who

play with their meo space who probably won't be able to pay for the service,

it was all over the survey results, and i know that one of the main
purposes of the service is to serve such dudes

anyway i'd like to know what matt thinks about it, since he's been quite
involved with meo

for the record: i'm not trying to hijack the funding plans, but to help
them stay within the original purpose and spirit, i'm aware that we'll
have to loose on some side.

we can't will all the battles, but we can try!
