Thoughts on process

I have been working on putting Pay Pal into Mandalalama in order to make some of the work here available to others. It amazes me how wonderfully handy our technologies can be ...and simultaneously how demanding the set up is. I heard a good analogy the other day. In order for a plane to fly it has taken years of imagining, building, testing and restructuring before it even leaves the ground. Then it requires an enormous energy boost for the take-off but after all those stages it can rest in a lower energy output for a while in 'cruising' mode. Alright, so I'm not building a plane ...But I would wager that Mandalalama will take us on some wonderfully unexpected journeys.
As for the practical aspects, after 3 years of active construction, the final piece of the puzzle, the website, is nearly ready to go...
