I claim that IF ubuntu-mate shows signs of being the linux distro that we’ve all wanted forever, talent will show up and time will make itself. That’s just a claim, we’ll see if i get proven wrong or not; superheroes don’t bother to show up and party unless they have super powers after all.
Talent aside (i know nossing) I’m strapped for time right now, assuming i ever get enough of this real-life stuff cleared away that i can get back to the hoss project, and i’m not going to divert from that project to fix something like caja, because i’ll be replacing nautilus/caja as part of the hoss interactive debugger, for starters.
But, i might be able to call a couple gray old dogs out of retirement if they thought they could have some actual fun for a change, and i can think of very little that can be done fully clothed that’s more fun than grabbing an eroding industry by the tail and swinging it around a couple times.
Talk is cheap, always has been; you can talk about doing something, or you can do it, but you can’t do both at the same time. fwiw.
