I only partially agree. It is no use to get more people if they leave because 
it is not easy to contribute. I think we should make glob2 more 
artist/mapper/contributors friendly. This was the rationale of my post on 
translations either.

Well, ok to reorganize it, but we must respect all contributions. This is of 
utmost importance. Furthermore, removing someone whose contribution is still 
in glob2 would be illegal.

Have a nice day,
