Hi Gerard, For me, this has been one of the most important Open Source projects ever. It got me interested and excited, and taught me more than I'd have thought possible. Thank you. But, there is a definite "lull" in the community currently as I am sure you will be aware. As a personal observation, I think the project needs to go back to it's roots and emphasise the educational angle more strongly than as of recently. To create some impetus, we (all of us on this list and our acquaintances) need to promote the concept of LFS for what it is. There is a virtually unlimited path for the direction/coverage of the LFS project as a whole, but it needs more promotion. It makes me sad to see how quiet these lists are right now. I run a business in the UK providing knowledge and experience on open source software. Without LFS I probably wouldn't have a job. I suggest we start a thread, or even a new "marketing" list, to discuss and develop a plan to stimulate this project further.
