Not at all.  Thanks for Gnome-db.  It's really amazing to watch all these
projects sprout up.

I guess I did miss a few developers!

Congratulations.  The project is massive, and it's looking better all the
time.

I'm checking out GNU Enterprise.  I didn't know of this project.  Also
GNOME Office is somewhat new to me.

We'll be keeping an eye on your website for developments.

Also, if you're interested, these are the two projects where Andy and I
got our start:
