Dave Malcolm is my Hero

Friends, hackers, writers: It is with a heavy heart that I stand before you on this momentous occasion to announce the dissolution of the Gnome Documentation Project. Since our humble beginnings under our Founding Father, Dave Mason, our team has been charged with the arduous task of providing complete documentation for the entire Gnome desktop. As the desktop has grown, so too have our responsibilities.

It is clear now that no team of meer humans can hope to accomplish this majestic goal. It is clear that we need something superior to humans. It is clear that we need Python. On this day, the venerable Dave Malcolm has shown us a new way of producing documentation. He has provided for us the tool to do that which we could not do alone. He has shed light upon our dark path, that we may now see that it is not a path meant for the mortal soul.

Through the years, we have developed a camaraderie among our disparate team. Friendships blossomed and new loves bloomed. We have become more than a team. We have become brothers and sisters united in a common cause. We have become a family. But today I must ask you all to lay down your pens for the greater good. Return to your lives, and remember always the days we had together. Godspeed to you all.
