I didn't want to make any public announcements until we had all of the
ducks in a row,...
9 days passed: are there any status updates?

Thanks for the status update.
It would be nice if we could start some plans for projects, though -- as
it would assist in demonstrating the need for funding.
it shouldn't be difficult to generate needs/projects, since we've already input for that:

Hi Erkan,

- What is the status with the Sandbox server? (1)
I was the point person for some time on this. We had gotten an initial commitment, and then weren't able to get things pushed through to setup.
I actually recently picked up the project again, and started to get in touch with the various parties about funding, beginning in December. With the Holidays, we haven't got this side all sorted out yet.
- when we set up the old Sandbox server from private funding:
setting up + running was not much of a hassle (2)
If we have another funding source, that is a possibility. Right now I'm trying to figure out if WM DE is willing to fund it -- they were very supportive and willing in the past.
It would be nice if we could start some plans for projects, though -- as it would assist in demonstrating the need for funding.
I didn't want to make any public announcements until we had all of the ducks in a row, just so no one would have unreasonable expectations. I do apologize for keeping quiet up until now, though.
Thanks, Gerald
