I sent a note to the GNOME docs mailing list this evening stepping down as GDP coordinator. I need more time to write, and being a manager – especially as technically inept as I am – was just leaving me too little time for it.

I suggested Shaun McCance as successor. He’s been a great contributor, and I think will be able to take things up the hill ahead quite nicely.
