I agree with this. I do think we should participate again, and I think we should try to address the issues I brought up (and you mentioned in your email) about project size and community involvement. My email was meant to be a "maybe it's not too late if people really want to work on the project ideas page". But I haven't seen anything happening there, and we really are running right up to the deadline[1]. I think at this point it makes sense to wait a year and try to approach it sooner next year. -Peff [1] I know my email didn't give much time for action; the deadline snuck up on me, too.
