I'll be eligible to start drawing a pension in mid-2012. Since I'm accustomed to slow-moving Quaker process,
that makes it time to get serious about finding a new home for time zone stuff.
There are several pieces of the puzzle (some of which haven't seen much work of late):
Data maintenance
Data distribution
Code maintenance
Code distribution
Mailing list maintenance
Mailing list hosting
Standards work (for example, tweaking POSIX TZ environment variables so Godthab can be represented)
Code enhancement (for example, year zero work and Julian calendar work)
There are different types of landing place:
Governmental organizations
Non-governmental organizations
Commercial entities
Volunteers
Everything could be moved under one new roof or different pieces might go different places.
While I'm happy to continue time zone work in the future, I also understand that it may be best for others to do the work.
Anyone? Bueller?
