Hi All,
The Files Team consists currently of yours truly, the team leader, and Ken Causey but he probably subscribed just out of curiosity ;)
Short-term, that's not a big problem - I'm harvesting stuff on Mantis, which isn't too much, and generally just am available to help the 3.9a team if they need specific fixes.
However, many of you may agree that there are some things that could be done better in the Files code. We have the code now for a whole stack of platforms, we can look at some other implementations, like VW's, and maybe it is a nice idea if people who are interested in reworking this library subscribe to the team and start voicing their ideas/opinions.
Personally, I think that there's enough on the plate for 3.9a so for that version I am not planning to press for big chances, but you know how it is with package rewrites: they always turn out to be more involved than you think :). Therefore, thinking about where we want to go now, if only to preserve your ideas for posterity in the mailing list archives, might be a good idea.
Regards,
Cees
