I think you're projecting your own self-doubts on me. If I was trying to
be sarcastic, I would have used the =P smiley. I didn't. Nobody was
maintaining ktechlab so I loaded it into kdevelop and now I'm the lead
developer of the analog side of the code.

You found that nobody was managing ktechlab and turned around to make
some good suggestions. Guess what? That makes you the project manager.
=P oops, I didn't mean it sarcastically just now but that's simply how
things work. If you show you have a talent for something, such as
management, you get to do it in the open source world. There are no
corporate politics, no vetting of resumes, you just pick up the reigns
and do it. You are the new project manager because nobody else is doing
the job. I don't want the job, obviously I'm unsuited for it.
