Oh thanks Ben for the explanation!

I really don't like Google's policies and don't want to give my data to
them when creating a Gmail mailbox (the prerequisite to use CoinBox list).
I think that freedom is something to extend beyond a GPL license: the
community resources.

I'm sure CoinBox POS is a good project, but at this moment LemonPOS is
the one that can be supported. I propose to try reviving both projects but:
- Reorganize the community resources better independency from Google and
other tracker companies.
- Open the existing resources (wiki, web, bug tracker, repository, etc.)
to new administrators, users and developers.
- Update distributions packaging.

Everybody who want to be involved could make an online meeting one day
at an UTC hour.
