Here's my wishlist, in order. I know perfectly well that I cannot
nominate anyone on the list unless I get a confirmation, I just
want to share my thoughts based on 30+ years of *C experience in
our network. Take it or leave it.
#1 Michiel van der Vlist, (2:280/5555)
No presentation needed. The FTSC chair for years, eventually
got tired of the political bullshit and resigned.
#2 Pavel Gulchouck, (2:463/68)
His nodelist search engine is still maintained and he still
seems to be part of the binkd project.
#3 Wilfred van Velzen, (2:280/464)
Always willing to help, sharing his huge experience, wherever
help is needed.
#3.5 Oli, (2:280/464.47)
One of Wilfred's point ops. No real name, not nodelisted, just
saying, he's a keeper...
#4 Tommi Koivula, (2:221/360)
What he does not know about most of the modern software in use
today is not worth knowing.
#5 Alexey V. Vissarionov aka Gremlin from Kremlin, (2:5020/545)
Always a PITA wherever Ignoramus rears it's ugly head, always
very alert and knowledgeable.
#6 Ulrich Schroeter, (2:240/1120)
Maintainer of the Zone2 pointlist, that never seem to miss the
weekly report.
Could you please provide a brief summary of each of these folks'
Fidonet software development contributions? I ask that because
based on #5's raging hard-on for that qualification in others, it
seems only fair to "vett" them all by that standard, right?

I can provide that myself. The primary answer is HPT (and the
Husky project in whole), others are binkd and golded.
My first commit to hpt was
commit 2f5ea9abb991bb20d66c3a7c6c9cf873a0c0ddc7

Added .spec files for RPM automated build
However, I've resigned FTSC (didn't go for the next term once the
previous had expired) and don't see any reasons to return - at
least until it will become T again.
Why would documenting standards and practices in FidoNet require programming skills? This insistence on such a qualification seems to
come largely from.... you.

To be fair, theres a good reason why.
Someone who has a solid programming background in FTN/Fido
software makes it easier to collaborate with updating the
remaining FTS documents that maybe need some clarification
because the wording isn't "clear". Someone elected who does not
have any current contribution in FTN or has nothing to show but
boasting will only be able to contribute a political opinion.
That opinion may of been insightful in the 90's but not now.
Its why it makes sense to reduce the membership from 7 down to
lets say 5 or maybe even 3, and up the tech-skill requirement
over casual-skills.
There is also the misconception today by some that the FTSC
should invent new standards or be the Standards Police. By solely
electing developers over has-beens and politicians it stops this
from happening.
