I'm with you. Ann's being too polite and is not getting the same in
return. I say it's time to fork this thing, change the name, and move on.
I don't know what it'll take to get Jim back onboard but he might be
thrilled to help with a fresh start. I guess the holdup would be the test
suite, documentation, and a sentimental attachment to the name. However, I
think the sooner the change the better, while there's still press.
