Well it seems to ebb and flow depending on what other work we need to
do. Right now Shane and Marc seem to be the major contributors to
Lazarus. Michael V.C. occasionally contributes but his major effort is
with FPC itself. Sebastian contributes to the FCL and puts most of his
effort into KCL. As to Stefan, I haven't heard from him for awhile. Jeff
and Curtis are busy with other business matters.

Well now that has never really been established. This also seems to ebb
and flow between Cliff, Shane, and myself. Since Cliff is more focused
on his Python Builder project at this point in time I think it will
probably be between Shane and myself. Let's put it this way we are the
most vocal on what gets done and how.     ;-)

Now as to how many developers are really active. That is one of the big
problems we have had on this project from day one. There has never been
more than a handful working on this at any given time. Right now I am
somewhat busy with other matters so it has been Shane and Marc pulling
most of the weight. We can also use more help. Anybody but anybody that
contributes, even just a little bit is greatly appreciated.
