Right now, that is what I'm seeing also :( How many ppl *are* on core? Is it an over-bloated 'elitist' club that needs to be trim'd down? Some companies out there have 1 president and a dozen VPs, when they only need half a dozen VPs to run smoother... > That's a good reason to leave the core (it was mine), and I've never > regretted it.

There is David out there, and Bruce, and several others that catch my eye as well, but those four, if they post, I can generally get a feel as to what they are going to be talking about. Who *is* on core? What do they bring to the project to earn them that 'status'? Is there somewhere where this is clearly posted?
