I really hate to have to say this in such a crude way, but this 
discussion has always and will always boil down to this: put up, or shut up.

There are a LOT of goals that have been set for this project, and nobody 
has ever stepped up to help do them. Don't know what to do? The thread's 
really in the archive, go check it out!

Other ideas to discuss? Put a bit of energy behind it and do the things 
instead of discussing them.

Again, sorry for the coarseness, but people never seem to understand 
this when this subject is brought up.

Kind regards,
