Ok, I'll post here first rather than chuck my pitch up at AOLServer.

I'm happy/willing/able to do this. So, question is am I suitable?

Why I'm a good choice

  • Demonstrable commitment, effort and initiative (i.e. OpenACS test effort, contributions etc.)
  • Sufficient commercial and development experience
  • Sufficient academic merit
  • Long experience with TCL and AOLServer
  • Professional manager/developer/designer
  • Obvious self-interest as my business depends on AOLServer
  • Not a flag-waver, or evangelist, but more pragmatic

    Why I'm not a good choice

  • Not a developer who 'loves' developing.
  • Not motivated by 'ideological' development issues
  • Already a busy, busy man and getting busier
  • Not as well-qualified/experienced as others here are with AOLServer
  • English. And yes that *is* a real problem. I have never experienced as much of the 'two nations divided by a common language' as I have in this community :o)
  • Not the kind to suffer fools (and I don't mean newbies, I mean people who just try my patience.)
  • Not particulary popular in the community, which might be a significant issue when representing us to the AOLServer community.

    So, there you have. I'd like and will do the job (or at least put myself forward), but I have reservations. Therefore if anyone wishes to object please do so (I won't take it personally), and I'll decide from there.

    Thanks
