There is no pulling rank, everyone is one the same level.
But I can show you my CV, sure. It is no secret and I have no
problem with it.

But yes, I already have a package at ELPA so I know some of
the process anyway!

This will be a consensus based project. Conflicts are not
allowed, public dismissiveness of people efforts or
backgrounds isn't either, the worst thing anyone is allowed to
say is "we need to work more on this".

Before we think about who does what, we have to agree what to
do first in pretty good details.

Stefan and Michael <3

Can't you guys join?

As long as there it is consensus based group and no conflicts
allowed, no dismissive or elitist attitude, no web cop, no
leadership group, none of that. That only attracts people who
are into power and status, I know this from many, many places.
So you just have to say we don't do that, and they don't come.
I know they won't, this method works.

Np: As soon as there is confusion, we stop and we figure
it out.

If this is a project for you, let's do it :)

But let's see if someone more would like to join.
