As *he* desired? And what about the users... But, I do NOT mean to say
that he left the users in the lurch because he is irresponsible or
something like that... it just happens that people has no more free time
or simply lost interest. There is no problem with it, just then the
project needs another leader. Nobody should evaluate this as an attack
against Geir.

Well, since I'm already committer in a project with similar aims to Vel.
(and personally I believe that it is a better utilization of my energy
to work there), I will not be committer here, so I will not shoot may
mouth off here... Just a final note, that, IMHO, things will not work
without somebody who is in higher positions than others. A lead... the
idea of democracy is nice, but IMO does not work in practice. Just may
opinions...

Good luck.
