We've had some problems on the English list recently, but it 
certainly was good for a long time and we all made progress. I am one 
of the few on the list who disagrees with the whole concept of gpl 
society, but I do think that technology has enabled a new mode of 
production which we've haven't caught on to how to make the most 
efficient yet. This isn't the standard free software development 
paradigm as we know it IMHO, but we're moving the right way.

Cheers,
