I've not been able to reach him as his mailbox is full.  So, this means 
that blackbox only has a single developer/maintainer/etc... me :)  

It seems that my (or shaleh's) rather stand-offish and pedantic nature 
has been a recurring theme throughout blackbox's lifetime, something 
that hasn't always agreed with the user base (yes, that's you).  We've 
not really been that good at asking for help :/


So, consider this a 'Help Wanted' sign.  I'm looking for people that can 
do any kind of help, so if you feel like using a bit of spare time, 
please do :)

More specifically, I would like to kind of form a small team that could 
help me out with all of the stuff at sourceforge.  In particular, I 
have the following things in mind:

1. web-guy(s) - I'm not so good at this, and the web-page hasn't been 
updated in an embarassingly long time.  just need someone to keep the 
web-page up-to-date, post news items, etc.

2. co-developer(s) or code-reviewer(s) - Some of the things that need 
attention in blackbox are rather complicated things, so I'd like to be 
able to bounce ideas off of other people to make sure things get done 
the right way.  If someone happens to fix things before I get to them, 
even better :)  The main areas of attention at the moment are i18n 
(again) and more look-n-feel stuff.  as the blackbox library evolves, 
we might consider writing some small tools and/or slit apps.

3. doc-guy(s) - the man page that Mr. Young wrote is very good, and if 
possible, I'd like to be able to let him (or others) keep this and 
other documentation updated without having to wait for me (or shaleh) 
to do it.

4. translators - many of the user-visible strings have been changing in 
CVS, so all of the translations will need to be fixed.  however, I do 
have some plans for the i18n code, so the need for translators is not 
extremely urgent at the moment (however, feedback on how to make the 
translation process easier would be appreciated).

Thanks for listening :)
