I really appreciate your enthusiasm, but I think you lack a little 
history and perspective on the matter.

Kelly has made fantastic improvements in the books in the few months 
since she took over, and I'm hoping she'll continue to make progress in 
the new year.  The main issue seems to be getting people who were going 
to pay to actually pay, and that's a slow process.

It is premature and I think a little insulting, to suggest that since 
the process is not somehow transparent to you (and specifically during 
the holidays where she and others are traveling) that it is somehow not 
up to snuff or that we're in immediate danger of collapse.

I suggest reading the -discuss archives on or about 9/14 of this year to 
see where we've been and what the past was.  There was a great deal of 
discussion on software, as well as a wishlist for features that you 
could quite helpfully contribute to, I'm sure.
