-
-  Samuele Pedroni is currently the main developer of Jython (the

-  With 13 full time and 6 part time employees, Strakt is an SME
-  representative.  Strakt is particularly interested in this project
-  because it is doubtful that its Framework system, CAPS, can scale from
-  several hundred thousand to several million concurrent users unless
-  one of two things happen.  Either parts of CAPS are rewritten in C,

-  in this project as a brilliant strategic move.

-Changemaker
-  adds rare project management skills by managing not only the project, but
-  the learning processes of the project participants as well as the group
-  dynamics between the different members. We intend to document and
