Just a follow-up, I mistakenly referred to Tormod as Torsten in my email below. Apologies. I meant Tormod.

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.

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.
