We had a few volunteers to begin learning the codebase to take it forward, and willingness from at least some of the current committers to teach, but I think we need a bit more organization! :grin:
I will make a concrete suggestion. Would it be possible to have a video call (perhaps with Google Hangout) about this on (just throwing out a date here) this coming week, Monday 27 February, at 10AM EST? I would be able to attend. I realize that we are a far-flung group, so I'm just throwing out that date to get us started. The most important thing, of course, is to get as many current committers involved as is practical. --- A.
