This is for several reasons, it mainly comes down to that fact that after my fairly high-stress job and grad school, there's not much time left for other projects, so I have to pick and choose very carefully where my time goes. For the past several months, this has meant that I haven't given the Gnus FAQ the time that it deserves. Someone who is currently more active in the Gnus community and that wants to improve it should be able to do so. Preferably, the new maintainer would: - Be able to provide a canonical and reliable web location for the FAQ. (though perhaps the my.gnus.org folks could help with this) I will happily set up a mirror at the current location so that old URLs do not become invalid. - Be able to post the FAQ monthly to the required Usenet groups. - Maintain the FAQ such that it can be published to the following three formats easily: - a useful format for Usenet, preferable the existing minidigest - TexInfo - a single HTML page - Be reasonably responsive and objective in handling FAQ updates. - Be able to work with the Gnus developers to handle issues related to the FAQ. It's been good handling the FAQ for the past 5 or 6 years, but it's time to pass along the reins. I'll continue to manage it until a new maintainer has been chosen. Please send mail to me at justin@iago.org with any comments and questions or if you want to volunteer. I may not respond immediately but I'll definitely deal with all mail sent directly to me in response to this message. -Justin
