Hehe... have no fear of my toes. Around mailing lists, I wear asbestos pajamas and steel-toed boots. :-) It is only what I said: a "comment". You did say you were lurking for a while and relatively new, so I simply filled in a bit of info on how the process works. No big whoop. I think we'll be changing APIs until we release. After that, then it will be trickier. Trying to freeze APIs at any point before a release just means that you release with sucky APIs. Fix them first, then release. After you release, you have to deal with the crap you built, but that is a different story for a different time :-) Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
