Good News? We have so many replies and interested people. BAD NEWS? ONLY FEW are active and I have NO idea where is the rest? :( Sad but true. While I can't deny I was expecting that but I set my hope so high and was really interested to see more interested people. Having that said, and to re-remind you of this email: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-gnome/2013-December/001240.html Please be informed that we DO NEED more help, support and contribution. Otherwise, and let me be super honest here, having an LTS release might be really hard if not impossible. Not trying to be negative here but rather honest and realistic. We are all volunteers here. We appreciate your intentions but we do need your actual contributions. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone who responded to our call of help and actually did contribute and still. THANK YOU so much! Happy Holidays everyone :) -- Remember: "All of us are smarter than any one of us."
