On your site, you talk about what you hope to achieve if you reach the required funding level. Could you, for those such as myself, explain in 'I'm-a-web-dev-and-I-call-myself-a-tech-guy-the-damn-cheek' terms (that's one step above layman's terms) what some of the infrastructure improvements mean. Such as: what is the "Giant" lock? (I have read the section in your 'really long version', but, well... I'm a web-dev. I can write you a nice, standards-compliant website, but I don't have a clue what all the serious terms in your document mean. I did teach myself C when I was fourteen, but found little use for it at school, and it rusted away.) Just a few paragraphs on the current problems and potential results would be very interesting. -- Bob (number 25)
