You are correct. I don't know. I spend an hour or so a week reading posts here, but I can't *actively* follow everything, especially IRC. 

My suggestion here is, for someone who IS involved, post a Weekly Status. Even a small one.

Accepted. :-)
Not sure what to do. At my current level of involvement I would prefer to choose a job from a list. I only have a few hours to offer at a time (working at a startup and all..).

Thank you (and Michael) for explaining the situation, and past problems which caused the website to become neglected. 

I know some shell and Perl, and am a good software tester. My understanding of webpage languages is all circa-1996 stuff (want hardcoded HTML diffs against the outdated webpages?)
