Not having enough time in the day. The resolutions to that are: (a) reprioritising things (b) making more time available (c) making things take less time (d) training other peopleI don't think (a)'s plausible in the case of NEW; there don't seem any obviously unimportant things that're being mistaken as being important and sucking up too much time. (b) is generally tricky, and is mostly a motivational issue, and thus generally not a short term one. (c) and (d) are both ideal, but also involve taking time out now for a gain in future (ie, scripting or rethinking things to work out how they can be done better, or finding and mentoring newbies to help with the tasks) -- and when the problem is a lack of time right now, they're hard to implement.
Most of ftpmaster are at the release cabal meeting Steve announced on -project yesterday; I expect the current ftpmaster issues'll be resolved before we're done on Monday anyway. I would have liked for them to have been resolved already, but I find it very hard to push for things like that when messages like Martin's to -project [0] are more or less left to stand.
