I agree with Ian in this regard, don't expect to get developers when people trying to making contributions are not recieved.

I also sent an email asking for permits on developing the site for bizdev and becoming a co-lead since Erwin is no longer in Sun. -- No Answer yet. Finally, if the problem is that the leadership is too busy, then the leadership should be change. Why do we keep dealing with bad leaders that stalled the project evolution?
