I apologize for any confusion about this -- not having the time to properly communicate is certainly something we're aware of.
There isn't a vast amount of work needed to keep things running, but there are small day-to-day thing that pile up if they aren't taken care of. After we last met and identified interested people and set up a [email protected] address for coordination, Doug and I posted for help there and received no response. At this point it is these things (new project set up, responding to questions) that are most pressing and not the bigger picture issues like sponsorship. If the small things can't get taken care of, there's no point worrying about the bigger things. If people are interested in this, I'd suggest that Doug train some people in the new project process and some other people take over moderation and responses on the feedback list. Figuring out how to deal with the questions and requests coming in there is a great way to start learning the various systems on the site.
