Well, that's something we can discuss at our upcoming meeting.
In the meantime, however, we *do* need input from the members on how they'd
like us to approach this process -- regardless of who among us wind up
implementing their suggestions. So, please, send us your input!
Cheers,
Kirill

That's reasonable enough, but, as I said in
