...is to find maintainers!

Task 1, 2 and 3 are all still ongoing - but I don't think that is a
problem in itself. Sure, I had initially planned these tasks to be ready
by now - but it doesn't matter. They will be ready eventually.

The BIG current task is actually to get task 4 going. Adam has posted a
bit on the list but with very little response. People - it is really
time for all to dig in here. Really.

First some good news:

http://anakin.bluefish.se:8080 (guest + empty pass)

...shows 50% of the image is covered. I count to 35 PIs and of those at
least 6 already have maintainers. This gives us about 29 to discuss at
this point in time. Ned/Brian/Adam keeps chewing on that task.

I am guessing the first tentative list Adam posted was a bit "hard" to
sign up for - many of those packages feel like they need some expertise.
:-)

So let's try with some packages which I guess will attract more
candidate maintainers:

BookMorph - the Powerpointish stuff. Mark Guzdial perhaps?
Network - A big package, will probably be split by the maintainers
stepping forward, see below.
Morphic-Basic - Again, big stuff. I guess Ned and a few co-maintainers
will step forward here.
Collections - Richard? Come on now, don't be shy! We all know you care
for these! :)
Streams - Brian? Craig?
TrueType - Yoshiki?

Network is as I said a big package. I want all people interested to step
forward and say so, and then we can together pick out a suitable number
and let them take it. Furter splitting of it will of course be up to
them!

I am interested in Network too. And John Pfersich has already
volunteered. I am guessing Stephen Pair and Avi Bryant are also
interested. Come on out of the bushes people!

If we eventually end up with packages that noone steps forward to
maintain - then we would probably have to:

- Reevaluate if they belong in Basic/Full. If not, pull them out.
- Throw them into an "orphan pool" and assign a bunch of co-maintainers
for that pool.

I hope the orphan pool will end up as small as possible, hopefully
empty. Being the orphan-pool maintainer is a real Hero Job. :-)
