Since the -final is coming out as we speak, that is a pretty good idea. 
I am not saying anything is wrong with the way it is currently being
handled.  (Where John does everything and we just download the ISOs).

It's John's project and it's his decision...at least in my mind.

I'm only trying to express that If we are voting, I would like to see
donavan's site become the things he has posted.  If we are not voting,
that is fine as well.

I would also like us to get along better as a community.
