Awesome project, though the perpetuation of open source software needing to be free is regrettable. > Software as it should be. > Free forever Mostly all popular projects need some form of funding, and setting the expectaction of a free lunch forever for new users is not healthy. Btw, do you remember who used the tagline "It's free and always will be"? It was Facebook.

You think it would be better if we gated access to a valuable technology behind something that excludes people without money to spend?

What a nice funky design. That front page has a soul, unlike almost everything else I see nowadays.

I came here to say just the opposite. The first thing I did when seeing the frontpage was to leave. It just felt overcrowded, unreadable and aggressive to me. It's fun to see how different our opinions can be about this kind of things, I really didn't expect it in this case but here we go :)

I think page design standards need drastic changes, but to be honest I thought this page was broken the first couple of times I visited. I'm still not convinced there isn't some broken elements involved in its appearance.

That being said, I'm all for distributed systems so I hope for the best with this (without meaning to imply anything about it one way or another relative to other similar things that have been developed).
