Thorsten,

There is no criticism toward you as your submissions and contributions to
the community are always very good.  If Nicolas and Marcus are satisfied (
and I believe they are ) this task is complete and thank you for taking the
initiative. 

The team today compared to the team last July is as different as night and
day. I echo your comments about the other tasks at hand as my concern going
forward is there will be too much work.

I must confess working as a team is difficult. There is "pride of ownership"
which must be shared and there is constant change which is sometimes
difficult to accept.

I have no delusions of grandeur and I realize there will be challenges (
viz. wiki ). We must all realize and accept the team is greater than sum of
its members and if it is working correctly any team member may step out or
step in without causing harm to the whole.

In summary there are no bounties to be paid other than personal satisfaction
and recognition for your contributions. I can't help with the first but I'm
working on the later. :-) 

All I can say to everyone who contributes is thank you as this is how it
works.

Respectfully,

John
