Re: Building a new home for GPE

Hi Florian,

Your mail seems to suggest that you have neither the patience to wait for
members of the list to respond to the OP, nor the skills to negotiate a
solution that will please all. IMHO these traits will be necessary for the
project to survive the move you are suggesting.

In addition to my recent post to the Reminder thread:
  - why does GPE need to move?
  - why can't the "missing" service(s), ie. SVN, be installed/used on hh.org?
