I don't think Richard wasn't referring to the difficulty of finding volunteers *now* (we can find plenty), but rather the difficulty of finding volunteers who will still be willing to maintain such a listing 5 years from now. Thus it isn't so much a question of how many volunteers are needed, but rather how they will be replaced without incurring periods of the site being unmaintained. Pyglet's recent development history is an excellent example: no matter how dedicated volunteers are, other elements of their lives must eventually take priority. Finding volunteers with sufficient time and dedication to replace themselves upon their retirement, is no mean feat. -- Tristam MacDonald http://swiftcoder.wordpress.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pyglet-users" group.
