Hi Gerard,

For me, this has been one of the most important Open Source projects 
ever. It got me interested and excited, and taught me more than I'd have 
thought possible. Thank you.

But, there is a definite "lull" in the community currently as I am sure 
you will be aware. As a personal observation, I think the project needs 
to go back to it's roots and emphasise the educational angle more 
strongly than as of recently. To create some impetus, we (all of us on 
this list and our acquaintances) need to promote the concept of LFS for 
what it is.

There is a virtually unlimited path for the direction/coverage of the 
LFS project as a whole, but it needs more promotion. It makes me sad to 
see how quiet these lists are right now.

I run a business in the UK providing knowledge and experience on open 
source software. Without LFS I probably wouldn't have a job.

I suggest we start a thread, or even a new "marketing" list, to discuss 
and develop a plan to stimulate this project further.

Best Regards

Alan
