I have sent X chat messages, Y emails, Z issues over 9 months to find out. 9 months! https://github.com/nodeSolidServer/node-solid-server/teams This team is only visible to insiders. It's impossible for the grass roots to participate in such a ridiculous bureaucracy. Something needs to change, and quickly. Timbl: please can you help here. Im not asking for the world. Just to find out who is looking after something as a means to help use and contribute to the software. It should not take 9 months. > > > Cheers, > Michiel > >
