RE: [uracoli-devel] Brilliant effort, thanks

[Eduardo Aldaz Carroll]

Hola Axel

That's pretty good Spanish!, I'm afraid I can't even get close to that in 
German!

I can tell you that it is a project for a high end sailing boat, it is still 
very early days and at the stage of proof of concept, so I'm designing a 
prototype, but if the project goes well we could have a nice water borne 
uracoli sensor network. It is not going to be a commercial product, it is an 
R&D project that we hope will help us improve the performance of the boat.

I think most of my questions will probably appear pretty trivial to you guys, 
if it got to the stage of needing dedicated effort I would be happy to contact 
Daniel and Peter, so thanks for the tip. Could you point me to their website or 
contact details please?

Adios y gracias
Eduardo

Hola Eduardo,

gracias para su respuesto muy positivo ... sorry my spanish 
is too rusty, so I change back to english ;-)

Thanks for your very positive mail, this enforces the motivation.
Of course there is much documentation missing in uracoli.
It is a pure spare time project, so it runs on limited 
ressources.

As for donation there is no infrastructure yet. At this time
we are already happy if we hear that people use it and find 
it is usefull ;-) Any feedback and questions are valuable 
contributions for us.

Can you tell some details about the project? It would be interesting
if to see in what context the SW is used. (If it is not possible 
it is Ok too).

Here is exactly the right place to ask.

In case if there are just usage questions, we can handle it 
here in public.

Daniel and Peter, are free lancers, they run their own consulting business, so 
if the support would need special engagement, development 
activities or even a signed NDA, they are the guys to ask.

Hasta luego, Axel
