There has been abstract discussions over the years about what happens, when a key person to a project is lost with no warning. For a real world example of this, going on right now, follow the wireline group at Yahoo Groups.
http://www.logwell.com/wireline/ http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/wireline/messages "allen_boba to wireline To All Members; We have lost the Main Member of this Group. Syd Levine passed away May 28 in his sleep. He did not Suffer. This is a Major loss to the wireline and logging Group. His passing will Impact us All. boba" Syd died in his sleep, with no warning of this event in sight. Subsequent messages, besides the condolences, are all about trying to figure out how to assign a new moderator and proving to Yahoo that the current moderator really died. If Syd did not already approve your email address for postings, they may never be posted. "To All Members. boba here. With the passing of Syd Levine, I am Now concerened with our Wireline Group.

We Must find the Avenue to turn "OFF" the moderator. Please boba" Very few of us know when our number is going to be up... All of us need to at least tell our family members where to find out password should we expire unexpectedly. Not just to our computer related items, things like electronic billing accounts for Gas, Electric, Cell Phones etc... _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
