Hm, Tim has this way of saying exactly what I would of said, had I been born a clear and succinct thinker ... I've slight disagreement on 'best tactics' with Dan, but not enough to mention right now. I can't really speak to the question of the comms channels btw SqC/SqF/StSq; but I know enough of the principles and principals involved to believe firmly that collaboration, rather than competition, is everyone's shared mindset.
Like Tim, I'm also able to contribute some time now; I am also, however, working on a couple other projects on the side.
One observation, though. As the legend has it, the StSq notion was born of three minds bumping simultaneously (over what drink, I wonder?) in Italy: Dave Thomas, Ralph Johnson, John Sarkela. Sounds like Dave and John are firmly in the loop, but I bet Ralph'd have all sorts of good ideas. Camp Smalltalk has, all in all, been a very successful and measurably productive effort. Whomever decides to grab the baton and lead the parade might give him a shout too. Just my opinion, and I think I'll stop saying that ...

I agree entirely. As said before, I'll happily serve any way I can and for now that allows a lot of time due to lack of job. I'd suggest that Dave Thomas (since he got the whole SqF thing rolling) and Dan (cos we all trust him) talk and create an interim setup. An imperfect organisation that is working to get better is better than an empty 'under construction' sign. If I could I'd offer money, but I can't so I won't.
