Dear friends:
I hereby resign as editor-in-chief of Nupedia and I also hereby give up
any position of authority I had with Wikipedia; assuming particularly that
funding will not be able to be found for the position of Nupedia
editor-in-chief (see below), I don't intend to work on either project any
significant amount within the next few months, and very possibly ever.
I know that we've hardly been on the best of terms, but I want you to know
that I'll always consider you one of the the most important Wikipedians,
and I hope that you'll always think of yourself as a Wikipedian, even
if you don't have much time to contribute.
Herding cats ain't easy; you did a good job, all things considered.
