Re: Article about Midnight Commander on OpenSource.com
Yes, I was looking for more than superficial feedback - so thank you. And perhaps the publicity will attract some developers. My personal opinion, generic as it is because I have been here only a couple weeks, is that someone who has been here for a while should step into the lead role. I am willing to assist by learning more about the code. Based on the recent posts to this list, it seems that someone who can create a defined process would be desirable. Just my 2 cents worth.
