I propose that any issues be referred to me for discussion and fast resolution with the relevant parties.  We can discuss on irc, skype or by telephone if required.

I am still waiting the for Commit Committee's input in this matter.  This has been on their agenda and requires their co-operation.

After great effort I believe we are close to finding a solution to this important issue.  I would appreciate everyones co-operation as the team finalise the foundation issue.
