I agree with you. (03)
the bootstrap/ohs project has some good ideas and lots of great and
intelligent people on the list. (04)
It is shame we cannot have a clear vision and leadership in this
project, many of us contribute to projects on a regular basis. It is a
shame that such a high profile project cannot lay a foundation that
attracts developers. (05)

Yes, that is what I remember. And that was done is such a way that I
dont feel very happy with. I dont think there is a big problem with
MPL, but still the decisions seems to be pushed on top of us by someone
who does not write any code anyway. (08)
