[iRail] Crowd funding data.iRail.be

Sun May 12 16:08:30 UTC 2013

Hi all,

Great idea but don't you think you would hit a broader audience by using
a more popular platform like Kickstarter ? Is there any reason to use
crofun ?

Concerning the user travel agenda and other user related information
take a look at remoteStorage  ;-) [http://remotestorage.io]
