He came into the picture with the repo in an absolute mess when it was all but abandoned in the midst of the switch from ToolShed to LWTools and SVC to Mercurial and massaged it into one of the best running releases of OS9/NitrOS9 the Coco has ever seen.

Bill,

Torsten certainly deserves considerable praise for picking up the pieces, and in no way do I intend to diminish his contributions with this post. However, I have to take issue with the way you worded your comments above.

I had been asking for some time for someone in the CoCo community to take over the project. Other than Robert Gault and one or two other individuals who actually made contributions (and I thank them for that), no one bothered to even help, let alone step up to a leadership role. It took someone from the outside (Torsten, who has certainly earned his stripes) to come in and pick up the mantle of leadership on the project.

Think about that for a minute… no one ORGANICALLY from the community came forward to lead the project.

Just let that sink in.
