Selective Glassalization. Jordan is trying to help you with your proposal, not kill the motivation. Such a project is beyond the scope of what you could possibly do yourself. Because Jordan is a core team member, has has unusual insight into the lives of developers with both the ability and time to do this, and he's saying that there are none. If you want to pursue the proposal, you are of course free to do so, but what jkh says is that he doesn't think you'll find the help, because he knows of nobody who both _can_ and _wants to_ do this project. This seems backed up by the general lack of developers dropping in here and saying "Yes, this is great, I'll help". Perhaps this is because nobody knows about it. Perhaps a formal proposal and outline for such a project would help. It's up to you to decide these things, as you are the initiator and main supporter of the proposal. Get a grip, man. Nobody's stopping you from doing anything. Greg -- Gregory S.
