That's right, although I'm not sure we actually log that anywhere. The poll system will list them as core contributors with expired grants and we have to make the logical jump that they're Emeritus Contributors. (Which means that they become normal contributors with an extra title.) A quick scan through poll indicates that we have about 170 Emeritus Contributors right now. > Also, what steps are required to renew grants of Core members that are > interested in remaining core members? The relevant community votes on their renewal just like it would for new core contributors. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
