Just start reviewing patches and build your contributions. means that everybody can review patches and commit them, without asking the maintainer? sounds interesting. :-) (no offense intended here, i'd just like to share my impression of the current state.) cheers, andre -- mailto:ak-47 gmx net | failed! http://www.iomc.de
