I'm sorry to say that the recent discussions have been happening over private email between me and the IceCat maintainers. That's actually a slight improvement from a few weeks ago when there was only one IceCat maintainer who worked in isolation. Lack of public communication has been a longstanding issue with the IceCat project. > I'd like to help, and it's tough to work alone. You make an excellent point. I will do what I can to improve the situation, starting with my post a few hours ago to bug-gnuzilla. I hope that it provides enough information for potential contributors to get started and to propose incremental improvements. Thank you! Mark
