AbiSource: Replacing ESR is the Wrong Goal (Mar 29, 1999, 15:22)
The President of AbiSource, Eric W. Sink, says, "So, Eric wants

Source, you'll need most or all of the attributes he mentions.
However, the list actually looks like a list of his qualifications,
presumably predicated on the notion that the best replacement for
ESR would actually involve human cloning. Insofar as this is true,
and sprinkled with a little humor, I'd like to offer a few
qualifications that I think he missed."
