But please be aware that the ESC does not command any development resources, but instead is a group of peers discussing the technical status of the project (and sometimes manages to find volunteers to work on critical bugs). So asking the ESC to 'assist the development of Base into a reliable and modern database' is likely not going to get us very far. What could help, is drafting an ESC tender proposal in the wiki, with what you have in mind (if it can be sufficiently narrowed-down to be costed & tendered). Tendering from TDF though is still stalled indefinitely, so that also might need some patience. As often in FOSS land, your best bet to get stuff done - is starting the work yourself! ;) Cheers, -- Thorsten
