Joseph, first let me thank you for your work, then I would like to
see rapid settings get put on the main nvda addons page.

Hi,add-script.
What do you call when scripts and add-ons come together? Answer:
process.
But on a serious note, I'd like to start planning the next quarterly
maintenance releases. Because I'll be stepping down from this role
later this year, the next two quarterly releases will be quite special
(in that you'll get a chance to get a backstage tour around my "lab"
as I go through maintenance releases). To whoever will take over this
job, I hope you'll enjoy this ride, and I'll start delegating some of
my job to you so you'll get a feel as to how it is done.
For this quarterly update, I'd like to propose April 23^rd as the
release day. The add-ons in our release queue are:
.BitChe
.eMule
.Clip Contents Designer
.Dropbox
.Day of the Week
.Golden Cursor
.GoldWave
.Place Markers
.StationPlaylist Studio
And others.
To my successor(s): these are add-ons that had commits throughout
February and March, most of them localization updates. For this
reason, you should monitor the commits list and note down add-ons
where regular commits occur. When planning the quarterly updates, let
the add-ons community know what add-ons are in the release queue (this
includes new add-ons).
First delegation task: please keep an eye on further add-on commits
and add them to the release queue. For April maintenance, I'll plan
and commit the installer files for new add-ons, and you'll get a
privilege of committing maintenance versions and announcing it to the
world (via email, Twitter and others). In the summer/winter
maintenance, I'd like to ask that you do the planning and committing.
Don't forget that good communication is key to success throughout this

Good luck.
Cheers,
Joseph
