Sure, but talk is cheap. In general one UL slot is just fine, the
main issue is that all phones will compete for the same uplink slot.

In terms of the osmo-pcu my primary goal is to add architecture to the
code, to be able to write unit tests and improving the general quality
(e.g. when Daniel and me did this on the assignment algorithm we found
defects, shortcomings, limitations...) and we still need to do this
throughout the code.

In terms of blogs. What we really need are people that want to do
engineering and want to work on some harder problems. In general this
can be either through:

a.) Student projects that are mentored by sysmocom
b.) More purchases of BTS by customers that want GPRS so we can
dedicate more resources to the work on the PCU by an engineers.
c.) Dedicated projects on GPRS/EDGE to improve it.

PS: Make sure to look at the sysmocom/master branch of the osmo-pcu
