1 umm ok I read your email. Now tell us where an embedded solution fits
2 in?

4 We don't provide support or hand holding. Mailing lists like gentoo-user
5 are for that.
6 We mostly develop for our own needs and share our work as WYSIWYG
7 And right now what you see is on the mirrors

10 Sorry if this seems short or rude in in way shape or form but our team
11 lacks the resources otherwise. If you would like for us to support your
12 via-c3 (stage building or custom firmware) assuming it fit's within the
13 scope of something one of our developers wants to support then you or
14 your company can donate one to the project or a developer.

16 -good luck.
