In order to serve and assist future "apprentices" or maintainers, the communication between the two should be public (unless private on purpose), or somehow publicly available. Given the undesirability of having ten gazillion mailing lists, and likely the limited storage space on tmtowtdi (or whatver variation it's spelling is), is there any way that this could become a realistic goal? Even if there's a "waiting list", perhaps one person's apprenticeship could help others who are waiting. What I wrote last night was rather utopian. In reality, working from history as an example, I'm a bit worried that there will end up more Toms than Dans and Nats. pete
