yeah, i think that they just probably thought that distributed document management was too far from their core targets, even if it potentially monetizes the protocol development to date by providing a toolkit for contractors to deliver this to businesses that need document management (or indeed clubs or charities that host and deliver public domain material)
the git stuff is probably directly adjacent, and they understood that, but ... well... i guess if you guys get a good toolchain together you'll most likely find customers directly and start to reap the rewards
i figure on the same strategy, i do the shitcoin social media paid gig, and keep chipping away at this instant messaging stuff and related tech it needs, and when i get it working, i already have someone to approach and say "xmpp is bad, mkay" and say "here's what we can use instead" and show them a fully working post-MVP native/web chat interface and they pay me to integrate it 😁

I think they weren't able to comprehend the concept because it is outside of the limited domain they are familiar with. I think this is probably a chronic problem they are having and will continue to have.
They will always tend to approve projects that are nearer in scope to their own projects.

yep, the tunnel vision of specialists
would help a lot if they had some generalists, maybe this is a thought for a possible future enterprise with a careful focus on multidisciplinarian... so, education, economics, sciences, business, security, it would lead to a better distribution and more chances of cross-pollination after seeding

Literally, @GitCitadel. 😂 We've got darned near every major branch if the economy covered by someone. Logistics, agriculture, automotive, telecommunications, electrical engineering and mathematics, software and hardware development, food service, sales and marketing and project management, racing, quality control and assurance, medical and pharmaceutical and bioinformatics...

yes, i feel like there is a larger organisation that is forming around this nexus, also, i may not be directly contributing but my purposes are aligned and this congruence of purpose is more powerful than a filial compulsion or employment contract

I was hoping you could help run the data migration program, but you need to get a relay up and working smoothly.
We need to release Gutenberg, first, but Euler can't be released until it's full of open-access research papers and books. Which means scrape, process, reformat, upload, quality-control.

We don't have employees. Just owners and suppliers. Employees are a tax nightmare, as you well know.
Maybe one day, if we get big enough. 🤔

That should be a standard. And it will be.
