First of all, please don't completely delete out the contents of the
previous message you're responding to, as we don't know which portion of
a thread you're responding to when you do that.

Second of all, I think you missed the point of Stephen's original email.
The point is not to assess how the procedures are implemented, but how
to coordinate acknowledging and being aware when the work you're doing
is already being done by others, even simultaneously.  There's too much
overlapping going on diverting the community's ability to build *more*
packages rather than the same packages over and over.  I think Stephen
is pursuing an excellent goal, which is to gather everyone together to
first commiserate :-) and then come up with a unified plan that everyone
can be a part of and be more productive.
