Yeah, but i think it's just group reform policy thats going on.  I don't think 
its personal.

One shorthanded acronym, treecc, is almost ingenious ;)  
...speechless, but don't go out like a light.  Stay!! I think, even though 
i've only been working here for two weeks, that the community is growing 
rapidly and word is getting out.  I know I'm telling friends, co-students, MS 
programmers, etc. about the project to let them know we're going to be 
ghostware.  We just need let the pace keep moving autonomously and keep 
reforming to allow the greatest productivity achievable.  I'm one person too 
and am going spread out my four limbs as far as I can to carry a piece of the 
weight.  All others, if they have the time, are doing the same for the 
benefit of the project, if not more then me.

Cool, whatever works to keep the pace going and not burn you out.  I get 
burned easier, but this is one project I don't think it's possible because 
there are so many pieces to the puzzle.  Unless you get sick of the whole 
concept =X  Take some time off yeah!  I prefer miami beach for some jaw 
dropping ladies ...<snickers>  As far as direction goes, I know the web 
services system needs help with constructing the framework.  I'm hoping to 
complete my first cscc plugin and begin a defined science like your 12 step 
to build a document for people to understand in laymen's terms the innovation 
it is.  Maybe a marketing tool for last minute preperation for the dotGNU 
launch for commercial use in a future time to come.
