Ashton What i think people are saying is, they appreciate your offer of helping financially but at this stage, in the migration to Apache, the focus is getting the first release out for which the netcat process is key.
Once netbeans is more established in Apache i am sure suggestions like this could be looked at to explorer if they could work or not. Keep up your enthusiasm 😀 If you have time, contribute, if not then you will need to wait patiently for the first version.
