Hmmm,
That page offers links to use if you want to start a team, or if you want to offer corporate support, or if you want to write a snail-mail letter. I don't think I want to do any of those.
I have been planning to ask if anyone following this thread is able to share a copy of the planning document(s) or presentation material that describes the financial arithmetic and other thinking being implemented now.
My guess is that those planning materials would be (are) straight forward; and that It/they might contain some assumptions various FIRST participants could debate, but nothing crazy. Publishing them would create useful clarity that could short circuit threads that start the way this one did.
Of course, FiM doesn't owe me anything, I'm not shaking my fist at them/anyone demanding an answer. However, I am mighty curious. Lots of other folks are too.
Maybe they have already been published, and I simply wasn't paying attention?
