If nothing else, there is always the struggle for the legal tender to get in the
way. ;-) And there are the proverbial "bigger fish to fry" for some of us.

That's got to be rather painful. I hope that changes for you soon or the Internet
isn't going to do much good there.

Well, there is/was a mailing list on the web page. I rather considered that the
semi-official membership list. Maybe it would help if we set up an e-mail
reflector of some sort. A listserver that we could subscribe/unsubscribe to might
make communication easier. However, I don't know if that is the best way to expose
proposed code in that it is difficult to tell if everyone is dealing off of the
same chapter & verse. Would a web site for posting code be too painful? (I could
probably volunteer some web space in which we would simply keep a page which had
different versions of packages for review.)
