I don't have any preferred topics.

I've managed a network segment for AmigaNet, for example. Besides that I'm
coordinating the echo distribution in R24.

I'm fine with alternative delivery methods. Long time ago I've written a tool
for combining FTS and UUCP into one transfer.

:) Transparency would help the community to get a better picture of each
member/candidate and would also encourage members to be more productive. Maybe
internal coordination and similar things should be kept private. But this needs
to be discussed with the other members.

It's not about someone being right or wrong, it's about producing good
documentation. Different points of view actually help. The only disappointing
thing is, when someone ignores common practices of other zones.  

ciao,
