Unfortunately I am too busy. Too busy with advocacy (my frequent flyer point 
counter is rotating like a fan) for which I am fortunately now funded by 
several government agencies and non-governmental sources, and too busy with 
getting drugref flying which for me has utmost priority (I don't believe 
gnumed will fly without having a sound useable drug database including 
content). 

That said, I am trying very hard to attract another doctor to work in my 
clinic, so that I can work part time only as a doctor, and having more time 
to code again for gnumed.

Your proposed junta is excellent; maybe you consider a fifth junta member 
overseeing documentation - somebody taking the unpleasant task of stepping on 
developers toes who don't document appropriately. And maybe a 6th member 
overseeing i18n - somebody who ensures that i18n matters are always heeded.
