agenda?

What does Konstantin Lysenko really want? As he introduced sky-map.org to the RASC Toronto Centre, he bad-mouthed teachers, school boards, Microsoft, Google, the Ontario Science Centre, others. Because they did not want to work for free on his web site? Really. What do you want?! What are you not telling us?

I think he is just frustrated at not being able to get the word out. Unfortunately, his presentation did ramble a bit, and he wasn't too clear on his goals with regards to the RASC. What, exactly, does he want us to do? If his is a for profit venture, then he's barking up the wrong tree. If, however, he's doing it to promote education in astronomy, then he just has to find the right niche.

There are a lot of folks out there who have great ideas, but who lack the contacts (it's not what you know but who you know!) or perhaps even diplomatic skills necessary to bring them to their full fruition.

I don't know why I'm so sceptical or suspicious of this guy. I can't shake the feeling that he wants Google or Microsoft to buy his site or hire him...
