i suggested in the tue meeting that maybe I could apply for a nlnet grant
for this instead of from the rust foundation, luke liked that idea and also
suggested that, if the rust foundation grant goes through nlnet that it
likely wouldn't be a problem, it would be supplemental money for the nlnet
grant.
