I'd like to just clarify Rob's comments here, since they're about me :) When Rob says "burnt out," I really am tired. This process has been very draining, but necessary. It's very important that we get this right, which is why I've been committed since day 1 to helping absolutely everyone with absolutely everything relating to Git. Got a question? Ask me. Need a new repo? Ask me. But being a one-man-army tires you after awhile and that's where I'm at right now. But like I said, I'm committed to seeing this through and making sure we're in the best possible position going forward. I feel like "exasperated" has a bit of a negative connotation to it. Better way to describe it would be "would very much like for this to find resolution so I can fade back into obscurity and work on cool things again, like Config overhaul which I really really want to see done so much." :) Again, I'm here to support the community on this. Whatever the end result is, I'll be behind it. -Chad _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
