Re: Questions for them

 CS>> 1. Which FTSC projects/products interest you the most? (can be
 CS>> several). Need not come with exact document name as some of them
 CS>> span several.

 AV> All, at least because I run the ftsc.org site containing them.

grin, I like these questions because they arent the normal.  They seem to bring
out more of 'who we are' than the standard ones.  Probably most here didnt kow
you maintain the site.

 CS>> 2. How familar are you with the issues that *C's face? No harm if
 CS>> you are not or never have been one but include alternets as the
 CS>> experience can be the same.

 AV> Being the hub in a quite large network (2:5020) I'm aware of some.

Uh, yeah. I'd say so.

 CS>> 3. If you have been a *C and experienced a site that needed
 CS>> alternative to normal delivery, how did you deal with it?

 AV> Does the "site" mean "node" here?

Yes.  I'm not expecting something as wild as me at sea for months on end, but
something outside your standard.  Like possibly node/site has to be emailed
instead of netmailed due to frequent travel or something like that. Idea is
'out of the normal pattern'.

 CS>> If you have not experienced that, what do you think you would do?

 AV> I have such experience, and (just a small) part of my knowledge is being
 AV> (slowly) written as a FSP.

Works for me!  BTW, I am in on some of that if I catch your meaning.  I am
testing it first (in progress). I will collaberate with you in netmail later on
it.  I *may* be close to the same desire.  Your help to refine it will be
valuable.

 CS>> 4. Since there is a call to conduct FTSC business mostly in the FTSC
 CS>> Public echo, how do you feel about that and why? What should remain
 CS>> in the private echo and what transparent here?

 AV> That was my idea, so I fully agree with it :-)

Ok, not unexpected!

 CS>> 5. How good do you think you are at working with others, especially
 CS>> if their view is opposite to yours? How do you handle that?

 AV> That heavily depends of the opponents' experience and competence: I'd
 AV> consider more seriously the person who writes FTN software or runs a
large
 AV> distribution node, than a chatterbox from a two-human "network" (or even
 AV> "region").

Fair enough that this is your call.

 AV> Two numbers to compare:

 AV> gremlin@nb:~/dev/husky/hpt > git log | grep ^commit | wc -l
 AV> 68

 AV> gremlin@fido:~ > grep ^link ~/fido/etc/links | wc -l
 AV> 202

Smile, you may have to explain that to the average person here trying to figure
out who to vote for as the RC calls come out.  Most are not *nix admin or use
husky.  I would hope all knw you are very technical but suspect you zoomed over
many heads there that are going to be voting.

(For the rest, been a bit but he seems to be pulling up a list of links? I am
not a *nix person other than casually since about 2002 and i never used HPT. 
I could be wrong but he looks tobe piping changes to commit them to some HPT
area then greping them back out.  AV is very technical and no one would
disagree with that statement.  He's probably the most technical on the FTSC).
