Of course, some people are currently otherwise preoccupied :-)

But beside that, there are, IMHO, major communication problems, as
people keep trying to use a web site as the primary communication
verhicle, instead of using cheap & simple email.

(remember, we in europe pay for internet access & telephone connection
_by_the_second_, for me, participating in a web based development of
a library is simply too expensive.)

Note that there is no 'informal distribution list', just a long list of
'cc' addresses that might or might not include the interested parties.
