@evalica, I am in the middle of creating a script to get member emails, just to notify them of the existence of this forum. Only about 10% of members have made their emails public, so it will only be of limited effectiveness.

I also agree about organic growth, but to improve the odds of success, I don’t see any harm in boosting publicity to build critical mass.

@grahamperrin, I think everyone would appreciate some news on the development and reasons behind github\_client\_secret, if only to explain what is holding us up.
