That sounds positive - tres facent collegium - but I doubt whether three is enough as soon as doing succeeds to talking.
I see a formal issue: what any future activity will be based on (e.g. the mailing list, the contents at sourcefourge) has been established by predecessors: who are, for instance, the owners of admin passwords of this list?, are some of the old actors still around and ready to get active again once new contributors show up? how to avoid that the initiative that hopefully will get started by this discussion can be mis-interpreted as hijacking? I do not suggest to get lost in mind-scratching, but this should be thought about. Certainly the highest priority is to stabilize the situation, to get the software management issue under control to at least avoid loss of speed. Mauro, if you have the necessary skills, can you, at least at an interim basis, try to get things started? - if you want to delegate specific issues that are just work but dont require GIT expertise, say so! > I am available to the community (i.e.: I could set-up the github account, > migrating whatever to it, do some patch review, ecc.), but ... Coming back to the "formal" issue: should we ask the members of this mailing list to confirm that this initiative is something that has general support? Concerning what I can contribute: I am 19 years beyond the 60 year milestone - a period where it becomes foolish to promise solid and sustained help. I have a solid background in perl and C and some areas of Unix tools, but black holes just as solid in others (like samba or using tools like git). Maybe the area best suited to contribute might be documentation, possibly also digging into specific programming issues.
