I agree immensely.  Articles are good.  I actually started writing one on the 
GGI project but I didn't feel like there was a direction in which the project
was going.  If the ggi project had some sort of goal then I would write an
article (assistance welcome) giving  an introduction to GGI and it's goals.

These people are nice but hardly necessary. Actually less clever programmers is
almost better (who would you rather debug, a genius or a journeyman?)  What is
really needed is leadership. Period.  Good leadership can get good production
out of less than perfect followers. 

Finally.  I would still like to see a release of GGI come out.   I am more than
willing to do my part.  A few weeks ago I submitted a skeletal test plan. The
response was the sound of one hand clapping.   I took that to mean nobody
cared.   Please change my mind.
