My suggestions about a secretary were trying to do two things: 1) ask if Alfred wanted to help be a solution to the problem (though that is not required), and 2) acknowledge that re@ does have a problem in that requests really do get dropped on the floor. During hectic release times re@ gets almost as much mail as current@, and that's a lot of e-mail for a handful of folks to handle. The role of a secretary would be similar to that of yourself in core@ to help keep items from slipping through the cracks, etc. Maybe this is something that I can try to work on for the next release cycle myself. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.org
