Re: [SNG-chat] Let's start something up (was: Re: [epona] Epona 'is this the end')

[David R. <dav...@vi...>]

I wouldn't mind working on bugs / new features (if its organised we might
actaully see the bug reports so we know where they are!), but I agree
someone needs to be running it, if not, we'll all produce lots of fix's,
and they will never be incorperated :/

If anyone can contact lara, asking her to appoint a successor to carry on
development would be nice :)

I have no problems with anyone doing it long as it isnt me, i couldnt
organise anything :)
