As usual, it is nigh impossible to force people to work on a specific |
| 26 |
project. I would encourage radhermit to ask for assistance if he thinks he |
| 27 |
needs it. dol-sen asked because he is working on a bunch of projects and |
| 28 |
knows he cannot maintain portage by himself. Even if the council were to |
| 29 |
decree that portage be frozen, I doubt that would actually halt |
| 30 |
contributions. |
