we currently try to help setting up a research project co financed by the
european union to exactly help improving this situation with bringing p2p
technology and wiki technology closer. and we are definitely interested in
finding people and companies with good ideas who would be able to
participate here.

we applied once, and it seems the proposal was not good enough :) but we ll
try again in 9 months or so.
