#2 & #3 have already been attempted, via multiple channels but with no response.

#4 is tough because it's a non-profit so it has to come out of someones pocket. That's usually @raybrockman but I have long said its not fair nor sustainable to expect that to be neccessary.

#1 is basically broken.

So sure, we used the #oldsteem method to get this project some exposure. We did it as a last resort and because other avenues failed.
