Hi Andreas, thanks for the kind words.
The decision to step down after 8.0 was taken a long time ago, before the recent problems on the list. I had to find someone willing to step in before I could announce this. I agree "maintainer" is not necessary a single person: my main purpose was to build a team, so that future maintainer(s) would feel okay to act as you suggest, for strategic decisions rather than everyday ground-level stuff. This position is easy to describe but difficult to hold, because it depends so much on the community. This *is* the real challenge I see now: that each of us endorses some kind of responsability, some co-maintainership feeling, and act as constructively as possible---be it for org-mode, worg, the website or whatever. I already can feel some go in this direction and that's great :) -- Bastien
