I don't mind the method; my 'problem' is, that as i'm putting hours into
this as i believe the work has a sense of urgency, and i'm in a position
where i can put time into it - the ability to work through issues - prior
to putting derivatives onto the list (reducing / improving list traffic as
the 'important decision making stuff' - well, i thought a bunch of
#Channels via a chat server, might help with that (but, i don't want
drama).  Also, overtime, I suspect we'll need a means to have meetings that
achieve quorum and get resolutions...

intention was to contribute towards progress (not hindrances).

TCH.
