Subject: Re: gentoo drops speakup Hey yeah, if we can get some funds to actually pay coders that would be nice. If we could get some volunteers to help out with a lot of the various speakup projects that would be nicer. If we could get some consistant volunteers to even help maintane our web site and code repositories that would also be very nice. In other words, dedicated help of many types would be nice. We have had people take on responsibilities over the past years but they sort of taper off after a bit. So don't feel sheepish. If you or anyone can help in anyway just let me know.
