As unfortunate as it may sound, this assertion is correct as far as I  
can tell. With the release of Edgy and the start of UDS MTV it seems  
everything ground to a halt, just like that. Even though it feels  
plain terrible to have to let it come to this after doing Edgy, I'm  
afraid I'm not able to remedy the situation.

I'd say, Gianluca and all the others who have shown interest in  
running the show, step up and take a shot. Read through what Troy,  
Kenneth and I wrote up for Edgy on the Wiki and the mailing list  
archives and draft a plan. There's a lot of ideas out there along  
with evidence on how it worked out.

I don't have a whole lot of time available right now, but I think I  
could manage answering questions and giving feedback via e-mail and  
on the list. I think I speak for everyone on the artwork team when I  
say that we'd fully back serious initiatives for getting any  
coordination up and running again.

With kind regards,
