Yes, there is a lot of good energy.  This is an awesome time to be doing
documentation in Fedora and at Red Hat.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Tammy. :)

As she said elsewhere, the real strength of the project is in the
steering committee.  The chair/project leader just keeps that committee
on track, and makes or enforces decisions.  The chair takes actions with
the consensus of the committee.  This is inline with the meritocracy
philosophy behind the Fedora Project.

Still, someone has to be willing to find the consensus, make decisions
amid the storm, and all that.  For now, that'll be me.  Later, someone
else from the steering committee will fill the position, and then maybe
I'll be back again. :)

More about this committee is forthcoming, Real Soon Now.

Tammy, thanks again for your steady leadership and foundation that the
whole project is built upon.  I'm dern glad you are going to be on the
committee. ;-)

- Karsten
