-Writing and translating our service documentation is a one shot action. One it will be done we won't have to update it, or very rarely. The sustainability f the service will then depends on VPN server maintenance and location and on the brand with we'll be able to afford.+FIXME 
  
-The VPN service is already funded for one year. Since this service is an important part of Nothing2Hide activity and is a real added value to our trainings, we intend to keep it up and running for as long as our organization will exist. This is one of our core activity.+the benefits of this projects (update documentation accessible online, credential system and website) are long term benefices since the openvpn doest not change everyda, hence the documentation won't need updates, accesisble a un gd nombre de perosnne aussi nbien dans le pays de mise en oeuvre du projet au' a l'international.
  
-We have three options :+Dans le cadre de nos actiivtes ext a ce projet, nous serons amenes a avoir des infos nous permettant de mettre a jour le site de maniere pertinente. vu que ca rentre dans le nmandat de n2h, nous avons tout interret a ce aue la doc soit a jour
  
-  * Create a paid service for big medias who can afford to pay and distribute freely the service to those who can't afford, independent journalists and human rights defenders +The befeciaires par la facilitation de leurs activites seront les meilleurs ambassadeurs de foi vpn et des formations n2h. ca nous permettra de scale up le projet
-  * Finance by our own means (through paid trainings) +
-  * Find donors and apply for grants+
  
-Once the documentation will be rewritten and translated and once we'll have set up a website to make documented request to access our service, we expect more users on the short term, and from different countries. The automated process to request credentials and the clear documentation will also allow us to spend less time to assist users in case of problems. We are aware that nothing replace a face to face conversation or emails with real humans, but some users will be able to solve their problems with a clear redacted documentation and useful Faqs.+On the long term we expect more visibility for our organization through this service it beneficiaries This will allow us to find in an easier way grants and funders to keep the service up and running and to set up and organize more digital security trainings.

- +  * Create a paid service for big medias who can afford to pay and distribute freely the service to those who can't afford, independent journalists and human rights defenders
