That thing with the advocate is a hard task but with the help of the project managers (they should tell me about the problems) I think I am able to handle that. I don't know how far away I am from -hackers but I'm reading it quite some time now (till last week from the weekly archives). Maybe I need some help here for the first few weeks. > For example, if ELF is required for projects X and Y, then the > advocate could present arguments to the mailing lists that help > motivate and accelerate the movement towards ELF, etc.. Maybe I can 'ping' the project manager once a month and ask for problems and how things are going. > If necessity is the mother of invention, the advocate would be there > to help make the necessity known, prompt discussion, and get the issues > to be understood. OK, lets take the first step. I'm collecting all the stuff you are reporting to me and I'll put it into a really informative and nice webpage with the following informations: Project name, description, who is responsible, current state, problems. If you have some you'd like to have included: mail me. -- Andre Oppermann CEO / Geschaeftsfuehrer Internet Business Solutions Ltd.
