Yes, partly. But mostly because it is fun. I wouldn't do it otherwise. That
is why I wrote that about the "end product" in an earlier mail. We do this
for the fun of it and therefore have no particular visions about a "final
product".

We were kind of hoping that when we have most of the low-level code working,
other people would find interest in the UI and stuff. And that seems to have
happened now!

That is really good, because I am not a UI designer. I am a low-level coder.
