Indeed, thanks. Sad to see that mortuary calls induce faint stirrings—hopefully not of the zombie sort. But the lack of developmental activity I think points to the difficulty of presenting the ODF Toolkit as exciting in the absence of a strong business driver. This situation makes me wonder if at the next ODF Plugfest, an event that draws several engaged (and mostly European) public (and some private) groups to see what sort of interest remains there for something like the Toolkit. -louis > > On Tue, Sep 1, 2015 at 9:01 AM, Dave Fisher <dave2w...@comcast.net> wrote: >> Rob Weir is the only "active" mentor here. >> >> Sam, Nick and Yegor have not been involved for several years.
