Funding IOS, Updating OpenWebMail, Etc. (WAS: Re: [Maxlinux-devel] InceptionOS Setup and DialogML)

[Michael L. <inc...@my...>]

Okay, you'll all going to like this...maybe.  I have found a site where
we can put up a free online store and the company (CafePress.com) will
produce all the products.  I have setup a store, but we need the iOS logo
to be created and such so I'll post another Help Wanted ad on SF as I do
have some artwork that someone else worked on before to give to the
Graphic Designer who wishes to help with iOS.  You can find the store --
with no products yet -- by following the following URL:

http://www.cafeshops.com/inceptionos/

As, this would be a good way to fund iOS and get things we need that cost
money...because as you know everything can't be free.

We also have to find someone to reinstall GL for the site, I have setup a
static HTML page stating that our web site is experiencing difficulties
at the moment.


Terry,

When you have time can you please upgrade OpenWebMail as I have v2
sitting in my home directory on the shell.  Thanks.



Michael
