Let's put aside the identity of the person for the moment. Earlier you said: > #4 is not an ideal, but a viable chance for the user community to come > together and take responsibility for steering things further. Perhaps you could elaborate more on your thoughts about the *role* of the maintainer after the handover: what you see that person doing, what kinds of decisions you think they will face, and so on. Also, elaborate on your criteria for a maintainer: what went into your selection process? Remember, we're most interested in seeing your articulate what the DBIC community can expect for the future. The specific person is merely a mechanism for that decision. As for raising this in other forums, please show me where to join and start the thread. I'm happy to join and facilitate in whatever public forum you think best to gauge community sentiment about the specifics of your plans. Regards, David
