He also owns busybox.org + but will not part with it... I will then need to pay the + registry fee, so this will initially cost about $300. I would + also like to host busybox.net on my home machine (codepoet.org) + so I have full control over the system, but I would need to + increase the level of bandwidth I am paying for (there have been + over 1 Gigabyte of busybox source downloads for the month of + November alone -- other months have had more). +

+ + I was going to pay it all myself, but my wife didn't like that + idea at all (big surprise). It turns out, she has better ideas + about what we should spend our money on that don't involve + busybox. She suggested I should ask for contributions on the + mailing list and web page. So... +

+ + I am hoping that if everyone could contribute a bit we could pick + up the busybox.net domain name, and cover the bandwidth costs. I + know that busybox is being used by a lot of companies as well as + individuals -- hopefully companies willing to contribute back a + bit. So if everyone could please help out, that would be + wonderful! +

+ + p.s. I plan on updating the Changelog later this evening, and + releasing busybox 0.60.2 later tonight. I will probably just merge + in vodz' msh since it fixes known problems, and since I havn't had + time to make it uClinux safe. Changelog entries for busybox.stable + are welcome. + +
