I've been silent for a long time. Sorry for that.

I proposed the idea of teams several times, and we should really 
consider to apply it.

I don't agree with the argument of  "well, the other person will update 
it...". We are going to create team of twenty persons, and communication 
will be easy. Even if sometime someone is off for different reasons, 
like an "office overload", hollidays, or whatever, it is still possible 
to communicate within the team, or to announce we are off for a few 
weeks with internet.

The gnome team is one of the team we need to set up soon, mozilla should 
follow i think (and maybe kde). I am right now fixing bugs on firefox 
and finishing TB package in GAR, but it takes time, a lot of time, and i 
may be overloaded some time when it comes to release some security fix. 
I would appreciate someone else than me could do it.

Cheers
W.
