[esr@thyrsus.com: Re: [Trove-Dev] Trove & Documentation Indexing]

For those interested, attached is a short clip of a mail I had sent
regarding Trove's possible role in documentation.  ESR responded as you
can see and suggested I contact Source Forge as they are in the midst of
considering establishing a group to maintain the Trove tree.  I have
already begun the hunt for the proper people to talk to at SF :).  

Just wanted to keep you guys posted.  If it doesn't interest you at all,
just lemme know :)

I hadn't, but it seems plausible.  The SourceForge people are talking
about putting together a group to maintain the Tove tree.  Perhaps you
should ask to join it.

Yes, the president should resign.  He has lied to the American people, time
and time again, and betrayed their trust.  Since he has admitted guilt,
there is no reason to put the American people through an impeachment.  He
will serve absolutely no purpose in finishing out his term, the only
possible solution is for the president to save some dignity and resign.
