This is kind of eerie. The final days of the MDP selection process has turned
the robotics board into a ghost town. I expect a flurry of activity as soon as
everybody has officially learned their results.
One other possibility is that there are lots of people who are unable to post.
I thought I had been banned or something, because I went from being to post fine
to having my posts never authorized about a month ago. Fortunately, I found a
thread on the administrative board that cleared things up for me:
http://news.lugnet.com/admin/general/?n=13314
Basically, the method of putting an "X" in the authorization e-mail and sending
the reply is not working for some of us (a lot?). Instead we have to use the
link provided in the e-mail. When I finally figured that out, I had 4 posts
still waiting for authorization! It makes me wonder how many people have just
given up because they couldn't figure out why their posts weren't ever showing
up.
But, I think the current "eerie silence" is mostly due to the MDP process. I
sure hope those who were chosen can make SOME public disclosures about what they
are doing, or the board could remain pretty quiet.
