Yes, and exactly for that reason of you not being here, and Daniel not
being around so often we decided to take the matters into our own hands.
We made significant improvements that are ready to be included and
nobody is taking care of that. We did our part on the new server as
well, and it's now sitting there idling because the person(s) assigned
to continue the work are not touching it at all. Dyne/Devuan is throwing
money down the drain because of this as well and is not something I'm
very fond of.

In the next few months we should already have things in place. All that
we want to do can be done in a matter of days, a week at max.

> Documentation on the infrastructure is lacking? yes, you right, let's start, togheter, to document it then.


The way you made the infrastructure from the start has disallowed us to
gain any understanding of it, so unless you and Daniel are willing to
lead us through, then you will have to write the documentation on your
own.

I do think our way is the right to do it, and we have come up with an
RFC document which you are supposed to read and say what you like and do
not like. Then we improve it if possible, or ditch it if not possible.

All the arguments are there and the document should speak for itself.
