Hence my view that the only way forward is really finding a core group willing to architect and get building this new distro from the ground up, rather than just assuming we can continue as we used to in the past. -- Richard Brown Distributions Architect
et al: Not sure how many folks are both on this list and on the forums, I personally haven't checked this out to see; but there are a lot of very smart folks who are posting assistance on the forums that might be a valuable pool of help. Like in all things in life, if you ask people, "Will you volunteer for a lot of work for no compensation," very few respond. But, if a problem is posted on the forums, people are apparently willing to help out with "solving the puzzle" of it. Or, has a post been made with the proposal for the new ALPine distro and asking for experienced insight into it??? Possibly a slightly larger group could be found??
