Regarding inclusion of the Get (Internet Archive) Books Activity -
while the goals of including this Activity are admirable, it simply
isn't going to happen for v.3.0 due to the timing of deadlines beyond

The mailing list is up - details on the conversation are posted at

In short: people talked, consensus was reached, stuff happened. We're
getting better at this - and are close to finishing the

I read the multiple "future of SoaS" discussions on this mailing list

We're going to be submitting our organization's GSoC application in ~24
hours, so this is a last call for edits and sanity checks. Many thanks
