The reason that the core group is so quiet may be that the ideas recently flowing take _real_ sweat. A guaranteed committment off time (blood, sweat, and tears?). There've been occasional explosions of interest in various hotbuttons items over time. It's one thing to sit and jaw (type) for 20-30 minutes; and quite another to commit 5 solid hours/week for a year or two. gary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
