And voila, the whining whereof I spoke. Perhaps I'm just being overly
sensitive because we've got a referendum coming up this Saturday in
Australia and I'm just getting really fed up with content-free political
stunts, but all this pointless fingerpointing really shits me. Sure,
n-m is completely fucked right now. But telling Joey who elitist and
incompetent and unfit for the job he is isn't doing anyone any good.
Seriously, guys, if you want to help, _help_. We've already had a
request from the DPL for people who're willing to do the whole gambit of
new-maintainer activities, in the same message that details what those
activities probably ought to be. If there's been some misunderstandings
in the past, how about we clear them up, rather than try to work out
whose fault it was? Yeesh.
Cheers,
aj

I don't speak for anyone save myself. PGP encrypted mail preferred.
