Had my second meeting with the potential investors this morning. Started thinking the second chap was really inscrutable and concluded he's not interested, until I got the email for our next meeting five minutes after the one-hour call ended.

So, that's all rather positive 🕺

It means I'll be spending less time honing my shitposting skills though 😟

@astraleureka @funcrunch I think there's a strong opportunity for national mirrors that synch dynamically with the Wikimedia Foundation ones. Canadian, European, Asian, and so on.

For us in Canada, we'd probably only mirror English, French, Mandarin, Punjabi, Arabic, Spanish and a few other languages practiced in Canada. Plus the dozen or so indigenous language versions.
