Hurrah! Now, if a few more of us will wave our hands for this I can get an article up on the news sites within a week or so which will in essence show that Mandrake-the-distro is thriving, which will hopefully attract more helpers *IF* there is a simple, clear way for them to help. I'd also like you to wrack your brains for ways of distributing the wetware-computing involved in some of the simpler tasks. This includes ways of farming out the *supervision* and *integrity*checking* of simpler tasks. I'm quite happy to leave a copy of Cooker (or whatever) super-niced and/or after-hours in a VM on suitable client boxes to rebuild, test or otherwise process stuff that would tie up a more critical-path Mandrake machine. Kind of like SETI-at-home but we *know* we'll find intelligence. (-: A reorganisation and revival should be startling news to the many who will have written Mandrake off when they saw the word `bankruptcy' bandied about. Now, how are the strata above StaffDrakes likely to react to this kind of thing? It seems a silly question to most of you, I'm sure, but how common is common sense? (-: Cheers; Leon
