And expressing some personal feelings in public here :),I would like to add that I am a silent admirer of the way you handled the BLFS leadership. It has to be used as an exemplar and standard reference for the future. > In accordance with BLFS prior practices, I am designating Randy McMurchy > as the new BLFS Project leader.

I am thinking to open 2-3 tickets soon,if I will encourage to do,about 2-3 thoughts that I have in mind. The first one is going to be about including CLFS issues (a page or two) in the Book,maybe not for the upcoming release but for the future one. The other one is to redirect the Track emails to blfs-dev instead to blfs-book. I will call a single reason. Better interaction within the community and ... hopefully some more participation. And the third one (which is relative)is the policy of creation of new tickets in Track. I don't believe that opening new tickets for every single package update serve us well. I think that new tickets are justified only for major changes in the package,or build failures or security reasons or enhancements in the Book itself. I don't know if this is the right thread to discuss such things but for sure it's the right MList (that has to be active again with the one way or another) and for sure the right time to do such discussions. And as I wrote to Ken once. That kind of talk must be an ongoing endless discussion,a thread that never ends and never breaks.
