I don't get it as well - in all other open-source-communities I've been 
participating, the anonymous wacko shelling out half-baked, 
incomprehensible ideas faster than a gatling gun *immediately* had the 
full attention of the big-wigs, and after a short time became project lead.

No idea what's wrong with these people here - but I bet if you team up 
with Illias, you can start working on his language-to-rule-them-all in 
no time, shortening the delivery goal of 2011 immensly.

Looking-forward-to-it-ly yours,
