Thanks for the update, Stephane. I've been home for a few days and I'm
ready to start testing patches. As you may know I'm no programmer, but
I can test. I'd also like to translate the program to Hebrew and
possibly Russian.

As I need to keep my development version of Fspot seperate from my
'real' version, I'd like to know specifically what needs testing. Does
anybody have a 'work-out' that they do to new Fspot builds that goes
through all the features? If so, then email me so that I will know
what to start doing. My regular use will be on the stable Fspot, so
knowing what steps to take on the development version will help me
test it.

Thanks, everyone!
