I think that we should NOT just depend on ourselves and our very small 
team but also ask other people for help and support. I know some of you 
may not know so many people like myself or Phill (for example) but I am 
100% sure that if we seek help somewhere else rather than this list, I 
am sure we will get some help and I am also sure some people might be 
interested and join us.

The odd problem that we currently have is beyond what Israel has just 
explained.

This project is VERY active when it comes to development and 
communications but it is very INACTIVE when it comes to contributions. 
Of the the ideas to break this and change this fact is to ask for 
external help. This is the best idea that I could think of.

While our brave and great friend Israel is doing his very best ... 
putting tears, sweat and blood into this ... other people can help. I 
have asked that billion of times already. We could do two things at the 
same time, it is not an overkill at all. Really, I don't need to remind 
you about that.

Israel is going the extra miles here since day one. He deserves more 
help. So, I am asking everyone here if we got stuck somewhere, we need 
to seek external help.

ALSO, those who are doing NOTHING at all, if you are seriously consider 
yourself part of ToriOS, then prove it :) following up with the emails 
is NOT helpful AT ALL. You have to do something ... whatever you do is 
helpful but you need to 'do' ...

Sadly, I know nothing about development. However, I know that it is all 
about marketing and communications.

Here is the plan:
We carry on with what we do to build ToriOS

IF we got stuck somewhere THEN
        we seek external help
ELSE
       we shall have hard time (more energy, more time, more .. etc)

No excuses from my side. No promises either. Everyone knows that I have 
moved for the 3rd time in 15 months and I'm looking for a job. Also, I 
want this project to go beyond the current status.

We need to come up with a work plan ... we can make it, I am sure but it 
is taking more time and more energy ... it should be more smooth and easy.

@Israel
Have you tried t seek external help?!
