Hi guys, Some discussion happened on IRC a few hours ago. We discussed about things and in light of his knowledge and experience, we are suggesting Michael /qwazix/ for the role of leading the creation of the new design. Nobody was against this. I hope everyone agrees.
As always, your feedback and ideas are welcome!
