He seems to be relenting a little bit.
I think that Richard is the best person for the job, and sincerely
hopes he takes it on. As leader, of course, he could delegate
the bulk of the work.

We can get underway once we have CVS access. There have already been
some bug fixes (the `apropos' bug, any others?) which could be
committed. But we need a place to commit them.
Do you have CVS access to the sourceforge site? I asked Steve Horne
about it, but haven't heard back yet.
