I should clarify this :) My wife's maiden name was McMullin. The name was changed a couple of generations back due to history, so he might be a distant relation! We don't have an infinite amount of money to play with, so I'll probably want to talk to Pierre about how he wants to go with throwing resources at the project. And which ones are the highest priority to put full time staff on and which ones we can cover with volunteer time. Bron. -- Bron Gondwana br...@fastmail.fm

I'm happy to help out with infrastructure support and other random tech crap if necessary - especially for the busy programmers and documenters and testers that have better things to do that figuring out how to install random $server. Just yell on this list or privately or in #cyrus or whatever. Bron, you own my time anyway, so volunteer me for stuff if you like :) I have a DevOps background, so I can do infrastructure stuff and code stuff as well; between Rob and myself we could make reasonably sure there is someone available at most times (I'm in the UK so we'd have most of the clock covered).
