[Openpacket-mods] OpenPacket.org future

[Richard B. <tao...@gm...>]

Hello mods,

Some of you may have noticed Aaron Turner's comments in IRC regarding
his departure as a moderator.  He's raised good points and it makes me
question the future of OpenPacket.org.  I've cc'd him on this email
since I want him to know I take his points seriously.

I think the separation of site leadership and site development is a
mistake.  If I had not followed that path there would be no
OpenPacket.org at all, but it's clear now that the current process is
broken.

My role in this project is also debatable.  My day job is keeping me
busier than ever, and my night job (family) occupies my remaining
time.  I am open to handing project leadership to someone with the
time to lead and the development skills to recreate and maintain the
site.

If anyone here is interested in taking over, please let me know.
Otherwise, I will post to the openpacket-devel and -users lists, then
finally to my blog.  I'm looking for someone to completely
re-implement the site, since I do not think Sharri will release the
code to us.

Sincerely,

Richard
