How is it that we're under new management? Nep has been an IMP longer than me, and I've been one longer than Valg, and Valg is the one who is absent (who knows, he may come back one day).

The only problem I see with this, is I'm not sure we've got a good idea about what the problems are, or how we want to solve them. It's something I've been kicking around, but it also gets dangerously close to what I do as a day job as a manager at Microsoft, and honestly, CF is my escape from that.

I've yet to see a Vision statement provided by anyone anywhere that really does anything to inspire folks. It sounds pretty, but I think the reality is much less.
