Summary:
(Rhythmbox, Gnome Users' Support Forum)

Detailed description:
I added scrollkeeper help support to rhythmbox and co-authored the Help file.

I co-founded the "Gnome Users' Support Forum"
on http://www.gnomesupport.org to provide support and discussion for Gnome Users who feel more at home using 
a phpBB than the limited gnome support mailing lists. The board has been a great success and I am planning on 
improving it further using mx-system*. I am currently the head-moderator with 10% of the total posts on the 
board. Hopefully this board will become the official board of the new gnome website.

* See http://evolvedoo.sourceforge.net/gub/mx-portal_2.6.0.6/ for a beta of the new site.

I do bit's and pieces of hacking on things that
interest me at the time. Eg. gnome-terminal, the theme applet, the panel-menu applet. Searching for my name 
in bugzilla will bring up some of my current patches waiting to be applied.

I build gnome unstable weekly and post bugs and try to patch bugs I can find.
