The path James has set down is the only path to success for quark at the moment. He has the talent/professionalism/maturity to make it happen. The other members already on the foundation have also proved themselves as motived, mature, and dedicated to quark.
Kolin's behavior has become increasingly erratic over the past few days/weeks. Anyone who reviews his comments/actions over the past month (all public record) will see that it's almost as if he's trying to sabotage quark. Why else would anyone act like he's acting? Whenever any real tangible progress is being made, he stifles it's growth, calls it 'trolling' or something, and then rolls out his alternative plan which is 'supposedly much better, and will be unveiled shortly!'. This behavior is suspicious at best. My only hope is that he doesn't bring down quark with him, which it appears he's set on doing.
For the sake of quark, I hope this foundation succeeds.
