I'll hopefully will have received a new laptop by then, but it needs more setup work than the last one (I can't just take over the hard disk like previously, as it is ATA->SATA). It will be a Core duo, but still not really fast. Obviously putting myself responsible here will reduce friction for my own contributions and may lead to work on the patchy-staging process. It would take computer and human resources, however. And I have work of my own I want to achieve with my human resources before going broke, and I am fabulously bad at focusing on more than one project. So a reasonably reliant commitment would be subject to several people (who feel that that is the best investment in LilyPond they can make if they can't invest the time) committing a dependable part of their income regularly. Keeping the staging-merge going would be about five people committing to 50€ a month. That is, of course, not enough for me to live on. It merely means that taking on this duty will not further reduce the amount of time I can spend on LilyPond in total. It would also mean that for some things that go wrong I'll be flaming myself and nobody needs to listen. Wouldn't that alone be worth it? -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
