It points at the L10n dashboard project.

Congrats Sachin!

The man from Toronté – he says No…

When lots of people are reading your development lists and bugs, a lot of inconsequential things can get blown up.

Also, they’ve been completely banned in the US: http://www.nbcnews.com/id/40678788/ns/health-childrens_health/t/after-dozens-deaths-drop-side-cribs-outlawed/

Can you explain why they are dangerous?

They’re no longer sold in the US, due to the number of child injuries.

Mine is non-identical because it has a flat underside.

One project I want to work on is a 3D scanner, using structured light, but it’s going to be tough to get a) the time and b) the resolution.

(The “Mirror” operation would probably be necessary in your case.)
