What I ment is: We should have a "manager" (as botsie suggested) to
coordinate the various helpers. So, if e.g. more people want to join
and help, they would send mail to this "manager" and the "manager"
then tells them what they can do (IMHO this is a thing, KDE and Gnome
do better than XFce).

This another thing to be managed by the "manager" :)
