09:11 schestowitz; Hi!
09:11 schestowitz; Been a while :-)
09:11 schestowitz; Yes, definitely interested. Your articles from last year did receive many reads still, esp. Peak Code.
09:11 schestowitz; Are you planning to send me a URL as before (HTML)?
09:11 schestowitz; We can publish this also in tuxmachines, which has meanwhile moved to our own CMS.
09:11 schestowitz; Regards,

11:00 schestowitz; <p>Today, in October 2022, curl and libcurl combined consist of nearly 150,000 lines of source code (not counting blank lines). 19% of those are comments.</p>
11:00 schestowitz; <p>This source code pile was carefully crafted with the sole purpose of performing Internet transfers using one or more of the 28 separate supported protocols. (There are 28 different supported URL schemes, it can be discussed if they are also 28 protocols or not.)</p>

11:14 schestowitz; <p>I am happy to announce that curl receives funding from The Sovereign Tech Fund. This funding is directed towards three specific projects that we have identified as interesting and worthwhile to push forward as ways to improve curl and the life of curl users.</p>
11:14 schestowitz; <p>This investment will fund two developers to work on curl over a period of six months: Stefan Eissing and myself. The three projects are explained at some detail below. Of course everyone and anyone is welcome to join in and help out with these projects. Everything will be done in the open, as usual.</p>
