I've just made the conscious decision that I'm not going to do anything but DConsult work before 5pm each day. I've got to get some money coming in so I can pay some bills! I've been doing too much free stuff lately (like the Gnome packages). Be prepared for an avalanche of DConsult stuff coming at you. About a month or two ago, I phoned most of the consultants that expressed interest in North America and had a two hour chat with each of them. Some of them liked the ideas and decided to sign up, and some of them got scared off. I've got to do something similar with the people overseas - but I don't think I can afford a 2 hour chat while paying International phone rates. I think I'll try to put some documentation together about what we're planning, and try to do as much as possible via email. That's going to be a much slower process however. Cheers, - Jim
