By its nature, it is a matter of talking with developers for one package at a time. Thus, I don't see that it makes much difference how we organize it or schedule it. What could make a big difference is to find someone particularly good at talking with people tactfully. Alas, that's not our forte. I will look for someone to do this. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
