Thanks Gianugo, I'm really honoured. I'm extremely proud of being part of this great community (even without having commit access), where I consider many of the committers real genius (coding- and communication-wise). Although Gianugo mentioned that I'm relatively new to this community I actually felt like being part of it (as a mostly lurker) for quite some time, now. I try my best to get some webdav work off Gianugo's shoulders (nice strategy Gianugo ;-) and contribute otherwise as well. If it's true that a great community is being attracted by good ideas and bad code there is certainly something I can contribute ;-). But please don't expect my commit rate to be like Carsten's :-) I'm not sure wether it's to early for an introduction - anyway, I'll make it short :-) I'm 34 now and unlike many of you I didn't grew up with Basic and a computer under my pillow. My interest in computers and programming started at an ancient age of 22 (if programming automation machines and robots doesn't count that is). Yes, before that I have been an electrician in the auto industry, but soon found out there must be more to my carrer and tried - Pascal :-) ... ... being to the military ... 2-year-college for computer science (yeah, you have to get some degree in Germany)... being 5 years with Sybase ... coming to S&N. Many thanks to Matthew and Carsten for getting me in touch with Cocoon. > > Guido has done a lot of work for the new WebDAV block, providing a > first implementation of the WebDAV Source, I should mention that Stefan Michels provided an early draft in - I think it was more than 1,5 years ago but unfortunately (IMO) decided to focus on the SlideSource. However I hope he will have some time to share his thoughts when we discuss further improvement of the WebDAV block. Thanks for all votes so far. Guido
