I definitely won't admin, and probably won't formally mentor. Alas, I have a very heavy workload with paywork. But I'm happy to offer advice and perform reviews (code and docs) by email, provided I'm not on vacation at the time, of course. >> One *very *important question is if we can/will act as umbrella >> organization for Tcl/Tk + AOLserver/Naviserver/OpenACS/XOTcl/aMSN >> which gave us 5 more slots last year. > > I feel that it doesn't hurt to represent the umbrella, but perhaps we > can assist in more clearly breaking out components by sub-area. > Labelling things AREA::... as ideas.
