Re: FBO Projects!

Oh, I know it would take quite a lot of time.  I'm not saying as
something to be put in the forefront of everything.  Obviously, real
life tends to be more improtant.  School, work...

To me, however, the prjects would be a lot of fun, and in my spare
time, it would be something I'd participate.

It could be something announced, interest then shown, then over a
period of time it could be slowly done.  It doesn't look like the
previous prjects on here were done in, say, a week.  They took time,
and I doubt anyone made it a first priority.

I'm just saying that I think it would help generate some interest, is all.
