Really? Are you just saying that or are you seriously so ignorant of what is going on and what you can do? Or do you just want to insult people? Let's do some reminding. 2.0 beta is around the corner. Discussions for that are on [EMAIL PROTECTED] and you are welcome to join. We have just gone through one series of conferences and are in the midst of another; more on the way. You are most familiar with the DLS; but others include the LWE Boston, and conferences in Turkey, Germany, Australia, and so on. We are substantially changing the homepage, and discussions on the technologies are on sc40. It is not a trivial change. The SMP is getting close to being finished. There are also lots of pending things people could help out with, though helping John with the Product pages (need to be totally revamped for 2.0) is probably the most important. He has not called for help yet, but asking if that needs to be done seems useful. And, of course, there is the Newsletter that Deepankar now maintains pretty much by himself. It's pretty important work. I'm sure he could do with help.
