    I first hear about this project like 10 years ago. I honestly thought it was just a pipe dream - a proof of concept that couldn’t possibly be done. Massive props to the legends who worked on the project.

      Why? they’ve released regular updates this entire time with obvious documented progress.

      Ever since I’ve been acquainted with the project some years back, they’ve been asking for more volunteers to contribute in order to speed up the process.

      I guess at face value not many did.

        Define many. I do think the team is quite large, but they aren’t full time employees but volunteers with real jobs on the side.

          No. It’s already defined. Read a dictionary ffs.

          Yes, hence the more volunteers part since none could be reasonably asked to be available at any time. Rotation, ppl!

            There were many volunteers. But its their free time, so for a project such as this, “many” people will still take a lot of time doing it.

            Demanding “more volunteers!” While not doing shit yourself makes you look like a bitch.
