Wow. Looks cool. Guess that might be useful once we implement the rules
in Python and will have loads of calculations. Drawback is that it'll
only work on x86 hardware, but that'll be the most common anyway. For
the schedules, I guess the context switch is more expensive than the
actual execution. But then again, future schedules might get much more
complex.

Go ahead please!

Yeah, that would be cool. I guess one thing we could do is make it clear
on our website that we are looking for people. On the front page. Right
now all the contributing and joining info is quite hidden. Maybe we can
also restructure stuff a little and give more info. Have extra sections
for artwork, writing and coding, etc.
Then of course we can look for places to post jobs and such. Would still
be nice to have comprehensive info on our website to point people at,
instead of having to tell the same stuff over and over again.

Yeah. Cirrus, Ben, Nils? What's up?
