But John McCreesh came up with interesting ideas. I'll investigate and find out if I can bring people to the project. By the way, I am not for closing projects lightly. In fact I believe it is a pity, and no NLC projects was closed before. It happened several times that a new leader was found and nominated and things went much better then. This is why I was asking such question publicly.
