Ok -- I'll try. I've received several hundred emails today and I'm a bit overwhelmed. I've had many offers for mirror hosting -- I don't see additional mirrors as a priority at this point. I've been trying to steer those with a real interest to the Leaf and Shorewall development lists where they can participate in these discussions. a) You (Paul) have been added as an administrator at SF (Thanks!). b) Mike Noyes who works closely with the SF staff has offered his help on that end. c) Charles Steinkuehler (of Leaf fame) has offered hosting services and may have some time to code (Sorry I haven't gotten back to you Charles -- as you can imagine, this has been a wild day). d) Cristian has offered to help with Documentation/Web site management as has Alex Wilms. e) Jim Richardson has offered to head development. f) Ron Shannon has offered operational support and has surplus storage and bandwidth. g) Ian Allen has offered to help code (He also has two ADSL lines so he can test the Multi-ISP support in 2.3/2.4). I hope that I haven't forgotten anyone -- If I have, please speak up. I think we have a core group here who can carry things forward. I'm available help get things transferred off of my server but I think the less that I have to say about how this plays out from here, the better. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Public Key \ https://lists.shorewall.net/teastep.pgp.key ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Oracle Space Sweepstakes Want to be the first software developer in space?
