Yea, i understand that - but it's not all that clear. Essentially, this is a
book, so being called "editor" appropriates certain things. :)
The point is, though, -- i don't obviously want to "demote" or "denegrate"
anything that anyone has done for the documentation project so far -- but i
think that a small "covert" number of people having all control is just not
useful here.
I also am not entirely sure either for the way to go forward. Obviously
nothing can be done unless all the "documentation group" agree... Egon,
would you be willing to give a call to arms to that collective so we may be
able to discuss things here?
Thanks for all your co-operations too. It's nice to see that there aren't
lots of people heavily opposed to change. :)
