There is a list that was proposed by the current web-master for the Firebird
web-site on SourceForge. That seems that natural place for the discussion to
migrate too. I didn't say "get off the list" as much as I said go to the
appropriate place to discuss this.

Markus is also welcome to make his own list and web-site independently if he
likes. I think he has planted enough seeds here to rally support for his
efforts. I'd prefer to see more of a cooperative effort between folks
myself.

As for the logo. I view this as something of a short term issue. I don't
mind if it continues to go full circle until a consensus is reached. Once a
logo is determined that's it, it is a done deal. Web-sites are an ever
changing animal that require lots of perpetual discussion. I don't see a
light at the end of this tunnel.

I want to make clear the IBDI is neutral about how, what, when and where the
Firebird website(s) are to be maintained. That is another reason details do
not belong here.
