I definitely agree that the Pouch has languished, and the DPjudge needs a 
facelift.  Sadly, I am not able to give it the kind of time it needs, so for 
this to get any traction, I will need a lot of help.  Mario Huys is taking up my 
slack on coding enhancements for the DPjudge, but we need to really re-form a 
true DP Council, with dedicated and diligent members.  If anyone out there can 
put a shoulder to the wheel, please get in touch.
 
Stab you soon,
Manus
