As this is a full release, and not just a release candidate I'm hopingfor a few more people to read this and then read what I'm linking to aswell. For the overall health of the project, and the community, I'mhoping to find a few people within the community that can help withoverall organization and management. I would like to long term be ableto move us to being under the Software Freedom Conservancy umbrella andthat in turn means having a organizational structure that's not just asingle person.
