I've been actively "working" on the CND donation and Jan has done great work getting things pulled together. The whole reason that I got involved with Netbeans is to get ready for this day. 8-)
Having said that, I've asked him some questions directly. One of those is how to get my "changes" checked in. I believe this is the reason he mentioned this. So thanks. You folks have far more experience than I do with Netbeans but my comment is if there is a branch in the main repo where I can start to get things cleared up that would be great. I'm really looking for the easiest solution here and that sounds like it. -brad w.
