While I was flattered to be nominated, I think I haven't really proven myself in AOLserver (C) development to be in the Core Team. Peter Jansson nominated me because he believes someone from OpenACS should be in the core team. While I think that would be good, and I don't think it is essential. Scott (for one) has been sympathetic to the project, and is a good leader, and as such will listen.
I exchanged e-mail with Dan about his nomination yesterday and he said something important: the ACT needs to be formed of competent people _with time_ to work on it. So he's not going to run either.
One thing that I brought up during that chat was the ad13 patches, especifically i18n. Nathan said they will commit to putting those patches (which I'm trying to generate to send to Nathan) in for the next release of AOLserver. That would be great because we could stop distributing our own AOLserver version.
