I don't know why you feel so personal about this. It's simply a matter 
of trying to find the cause of things which are happening.
If you buy a new washing machine and cloths start looking brownish you 
start investigating the washing machine. It could be that there is 
something wrong with the water you use and that both the arrival of the 
new washing machine and the water problem happened around the same time. 
It's only logical to start with the things which have changed recently.

This thread was meant as a brain storm session and no ideas should be 
attacked. Ideas are just as valuable as trying to find the cause. So, if 
you propose that we should find a sponsor for a beer for each solved bug 
could help bugfixing then that idea should not be attacked by people who 
don't like beer.

Agreed. It won't hurt to continue for the time being, even without the 
reports, etc. Announcements can be done by someone else if François 
won't be available.

It's not only a matter of interest. Those who are self-employed or work 
for a company which like to support the community have more 
opportunities to rearrange their time and participate.

Good one. It could indeed be easier to join.
