Re: [Bismark-devel] Fwd: Bismark on M-Lab

[Nick Feamster <feamster@cc.gatech.edu>]

What about a posting on the MLab site as "soft" publicity?

As an aside, this may quickly generate more demand than we can support, both in terms of cost of routers and ability to maintain.  I do wonder if it makes sense to set up a shell non-profit, through which we can take some donations, etc., or whether it makes sense to keep going the usual academic funding route.
