Yes, you are right Thomas!
I have been much too inactive in these areas. I will blame the fact that I
spend to little time with the ArgoUML project to be able to do this well.
Also, as a lame marketing trick, I have registered all responsibilities that
nobody has yet volunteered for, on myself to make them visible.
Since I don't expect my amount of time to change radically in the
foreseeable future, you will all have to be more active in these matters.
Are you Thomas interested in assuming any of the already identified
responsibilities in this area such as Web master for the Developer Zone
or Market Communicator? Are you interested in assuming some responsibility
in this area that I have not yet identified or defined? Anyone else?
Are there other areas where anyone of you would like to assume more
responsibility to improve the efficiency of the project? Coordinating and
making releases?
