What are the plans for EAA? When will it be spun off? Is there much interest in it from new members of 80k? Is anybody other than Eitan Fischer (who's in school) working on it at the moment?

Are you getting any other emails like this one?

I sent him one, except it had about two questions instead of sixteen. Thanks to Giles for asking all these questions and to Will for agreeing to make the answers public.

I missed out some context here - I sent this email in the context of "I'm thinking of giving you some money but I have a bunch of questions first". So with this point I was more asking whether people were offering money than whether they were asking questions. I've edited the post to clarify.

Thanks for asking him questions though!
