If my experience in Gemini is anything to go by, it's not going to happen.
Solderpunk has basically disappeared, and his appointed assistant resigned
after a few months. I'm not saying the project is dead, but further
clarifications of the protocol and text format probably is.

Is Solderpunk "in charge" beyond the fact that there was community consensus

that they were? Is there anything preventing from the community from saying,

"Solderpunk is MIA, we're going to figure out a new way to move forward without

a single person 'in charge'"?
