We were going to suggest this, but you beat us to it. :)

Yes, we have two goals here:

1. Get something, *anything* working again so that 3.9 can move on (btw,
I will start a dissection of Stefs roadmap today, to try to get people
to react)

2. Of course, figure out something for the long run.

Well, duh, you are saying the exact same thing. Goodie. :)

You are not there at this very moment  - but does this mean you would
like to be Team leader on this? I think you fit that job perfectly and
you will have my total support in that role, and I am also officially
joining you :)! Regarding the others in our group I am betting Doug will
join too,  Cees and Marcus are probably "full".

PS. I am contacting Michael today to try start helping wrapping up 3.8,
but that is probably best dealt with separately.
