Agreed no big deal there. Sequence was somewhat different and actual
announcement should have waited till this was sorted out. BUT that is
not the point.

I agree with you on non-unilateral decision making. My view of sequence
of events left me in no doubt that I was not welcome to participate and
at the same time announcement went out without waiting to sort out.

Thanks, and I foresee my continued support. Let us put the issue behind
in a manner that this sort of thing does not happen in future projects
of the community and set out clear cut approaches.

To move forward, if the site is already hosted, good. If it still needs
a host I am willing with hosting courtesy logo. Since the site will
share my company database hosting I will maintain it but am not in
position to offer hosting control.
