Subject: OK (was: Re: [...] free wiki [hosting] (was: Re: BlenderCAD: [...]))
OK,it was not my intention to "insist" on a certain idea. Just to "offer"
an idea.
If you are willing and able, to do certain things, then -- great!
...and as far as, who "should" make the decisions... I might not know the
answer to that one, but apparently (in this case at least), it is someone
"other than me".
