Your global warming solution sounds like my hybrid:
The continuously variable transmission keeps the RPM low whenever possible. Running at below 2000 RPM going over 100 km/h, for example.
The gas engine shuts off while idling - forget 30 seconds. In fact I can move accelerate upto 55 or 60 km/h without engaging the gas engine.
But I still hear global warming is a problem... please reconsider your solution before moving on.
"He hasn't hacked much new code in a decade or more."
A sad indicator that the author mistakenly believes that only coders are contributing to the free software movement. There are a whole lot of things happening other than code getting written, but he seems to dismiss anything else as valueless with this single statement.
What kind of user testing was done with respect to the interface changes throughout the development process? For example how early were users involved in providing feedback on the interface changes and potential work flow changes? What kind of methodology was used to collect this feedback? What methods weren't used that you wished you could have employed and which ones were used with less than satisfactory results?
