well said texrat. No point in forcing people behind some project or make them stay or leave. We're all individuals here and make our own decisions. Nothing can be said or done that will please all and magically make all problems go away. But those who stay can do little things - test packages in testing, help other users, improve the wiki, etc. things that we've been doing here for ages already. That part hasn't changed. The thing that has changed is that there's less people doing some of those things. So what I'm saying is that we need to stop banging the panic button and concentrate on those little things to fix the problems one by one here. Moving to a new domain doesn't fix those issues. If the funding stops after this year then the issues here have been already thought and hopefully solved to some extent and furthermore there's no need for the panic button then either. But until it happens focusing on moving away is just a waste of time and energy.

I've thought a bit what I stated in the mailing list earlier (agreed that the council is of no use anymore) and I'm taking what I said back. I do think the council is still relevant and needed but it cannot solve or do all the things by itself (it isn't even supposed to). It's up to the community.
