OK, I have to admit that I am not totally correct on this. But I would say that what everybody is waiting for is rather some kind of a formal "go" signal from you so that we can start assembling the implementation ideas floating around this list in a new coherent whole and actually get to implementing it. > I for one need to get rid of my current buildsystem because it is noisy, > takes room and is no longer on par with current hardware (it's about 6 > years old, first generation AMD64).

Karanbir offered setting up a new build system quite awhile ago and even made some progress on this. He also stated, that buying hardware and installing it at his location or at any other open source friendly network which is probably not that hard to find (I need to get in touch with people to back this statement up) is a much cheaper way of doing it if there's money involved. > What would be good is to have regular meetings, making minutes, tracking > progress and see where we could need help to get forward.

For sure, this will get us on track much quicker than sporadic critical discussions on the mailing list. At this point my position is stable enough so that I can attend to a monthly meeting for discussion, though the time I can commit to actually implementing something is very limited. > Maybe we should do a fundraiser or look for donations again ?
