Jambunathan,

please do not make the mistake of underestimating the effort required to
manage a project like org.  It is an often thankless job (thanks
Bastien!) and much of what is done is behind the scenes and probably
very often akin to herding cats.  Nicolas has not worked in isolation,
which is not intended to diminish his contributions of course.  The fact
that much of the continual evolution of org is so painless and yet so
effective is a real indicator of how well Bastien is managing the whole
process.

'nuff said.  On to other things now... like actually using org to get
work done!
