Richard, BLFS is a very large and complicated project. I appreciate everything the the editors do. It doesn't matter whether the contributions are large or small; every little bit helps. If you notice, I haven't been making very many updates lately either. We all get busy doing other things. Is the problem that you don't enjoy being an editor or that you have a preconceived idea of how much time or effort you are expected to put in? We are all unpaid volunteers. (N.B. Randy, don't read the following.) <NB> One of the "problems" we have is that Randy makes a huge number of updates. He makes the rest of us look bad. :) I gave up trying to keep up with him quite a while ago. Being an editor is not a competition where we try to see how many updates we can make. </NB> Being an editor means that you are trusted, but your level of involvement is up to you. If you truly don't want to make *any* changes, then perhaps you should resign. However, if you feel that you can maintain some areas of the book or can contribute in some other way, then I welcome you to stay. If you can help out more during "crunch" time, so much the better. But that is an additional bonus to us that is not considered a requirement. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
