This is due to a very high load at my work (double teaching, plus a new satellite observatory which, after initial problems, now works and binds a lot of my time), and also due to some other problems and commitments. My preference would be that I use the time that currently remains for addressing bigger issues, like implementing encryption for MobileOrg, better support for entities in all backends, and preparing the next release. Some of you don't know Emacs Lisp, but do know enough about Org so that you could help answering more general questions on the mailing list. Some of you know Emacs Lisp and are (or want to become) contributers with copyright assignment. If you could try to step up efforts and adopt some of the issues that come up here, that would be very much appreciated. Maybe drop a quick message announcing that you will be the one working on it, so that we can avoid double work. That would allow me to ignore that thread until you come back with either a solution (a patch?), or a summary of the discussion around it, proposing further action or proposing to drop it. Thanks, and yes, I know that many people are already doing some of what I am asking for. - Carsten
