[mwkn-contributors] MWKN needs more contribution

[Tim Samoff]

Hi,

First, Andrew, you have done an amazing job keeping this very important 
publication going. I enjoy reading it each and every week. I applaud you 
for that.

Second, I must apologize for not being able to contribute more. Life is 
just...messy right now.

Last, I fear that this whole MeeGo thing is going to fragment our 
beloved community beyond repair for the next months (years?). Of course, 
a new, vibrant community will emerge, but until then a lot of us are 
going to feel very disjointed -- and probably somewhat unmotivated. 
Still, in the long-run, it will most likely turn out to be a good thing 
for Maemo/MeeGo.

That being said, I can try to help out more where needed. But, I may 
need some direction. E.g., if you need some sub-editing work, etc., just 
tell me and I'll do my best.

As always, I will continue to Tweet when I can.

Aside from that, I'll be trying to sell my house and move my family to 
California by mid-Summer.

Tim
