Re: GNU Prolog 1.3.1 is released

[Benjamin L . Russell]

Hi Daniel,

That depends on how much time and work is required, and how difficult
that work would be, since I also work a full-time job and am extremely
busy on weekends.

Who would provide the server and set up the software?  Could you
please describe the required tasks for "managing proposals + vote"
more specifically?
