That's a fair enough point. I make the following suggestion... I 
suggest that we plan for a meeting at the start of March. I will 
prepare an Asterisk demo for that meeting. In the second half of 
February we will ask on this mailing list for a show-of-hands of who 
wants to come along and hopefully we will get 5+ people. Does that 
sound like a reasonable way forward?

If you're standing down and need someone to take over then I could do 
that if that is what everyone wishes...
