I disagree for several reasons. First, Edgar has already managed to lead
a release to successful completion which is no small feat. Second,
there's the small matter of who instead would sign up to be the lead for
the release. If there are alternative offers the board has a choice but
so far the only person I've seen actively volunteering (several times)
was Edgar. To be honest, I had feared noone would raise their hand
because it's real work and real time to be invested. But let me repeat
this: If there's anyone else who wants to lead the trunk release, RAISE
YOUR HAND.
If that means having to read less than perfect English, I can cope with
that. Edgar is a good-natured person and if you retain your humor his
notes can be quite funny :-)
Edgar needs our help, of course, and perhaps a bit more in the language
area than others. I'm more than willing to help him in this area because
he's got some real work ahead of him and needs support from everyone, in
every possible area you can think of.
Cheers,
