I agree completely with you, Pietro. Moreover Cliki was not accessible
for the last 2/3 days and this is not acceptable.

I understand and appreciate the desire to improve CTO, but a not
functioning CTO subtract any value from an upgrade.

I propose to establish a common sense rule: in order to proceed to an
upgrade, the upgrader *must* be able to dedicate his (or of volunteers
previously contacted) time and resources to solve any issue. (I think
Tril is sticking to this rule by day 1 and appropriately).

I never touched Cliki and/or Araneida precisely because I have only
a superficial knowledge of Lisp and no substantial time and will
to invest in Common Lisp.

Besides this, I have many reserves regarding the concept of Wiki
as currently implemented by various softwares, but I will continue
to shut up and not complain because I have no time to develop
my ideas, much less in software.

Regards.
