I wish I had time to help more, but I'm buried in real life right now :( I have
a deadline on a small book on april 25, then I have a deadline on a relatively
complex simulation system on like may 9th or something (It was supposed to take
a full 3 months to do, but me and my team haven't touched it, we're gonna try
to do 3 months of work in 3 weeks and hope it doesn't suck TOO much :/ ). Top
it off with full time work and college, and I'm a little busy :) I will help as
I can, but I'm refusing to add on any more responsabilities until I get some
out of the way. I am not giving up on the section I'm writing, but I'm afraid
it's on a back burner for now, I will email in private when I'm active on it
again. I would hope some brave volunteers with free time would jump in and help
take care of lgdc, I think it's a great site and I'd be pretty sad if lgdc
closed its doors due to lack of volunteers... Maybe put up a request for help
on the news, and see if the guys at linuxgames.com will mention it? :/
