One thing we could do is to use a section of the wiki (is the export for distribution controlled by... top-level page, or...?) is to provide some info about expected availability *when such information is available*.
For example, I know that for the next month that I'll be able to work a tiny bit on work-related issues and a few minor things that have popped up here and there as well as continue participating on struts-user. If we had a clearing house for that kind of low-granularity info it might be handy for providing a high-level overview of potential participation metrics. I don't think anybody here supposes there is an absolute obligation except for having a vote be meaningful and not just "OH HAI +1 KTHXBYE" lolstruts. I can only speak for myself, but voting for me do means I'll do my best to resolve issues as they come up and continue to do what little I can on the user list. (Albeit a bit testily at times. I'm really quite crabby, especially when overloaded like I am at the moment :) d. --- Antonio Petrelli <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 2008/1/16, Ted Husted <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > As a group, we really suck at letting each other know > > that we won't be around for a while. > > Ted, > we are not a group, we are a community.
