Hi Jacques, Thanks for your reply. Of course I am more than happy to add some of my 5 cents to help improve OfBIZ. and I agree that great pieces of work takes effort that takes more than months (or years). I very much appreciate the work everybody has put in.
Re becoming a committer: I am more than happy to participate in that role in the future, when being called upon. Regards, Pierre PS Magic wands are indeed rare. Pity.
