Somewhat hypocritically as I cannot volunteer myself just now… just because Walter didn't get round to it, doesn't mean it can't be done. People who want the feature should find a way of creating the resource to make it happen. Four ways: volunteer to do the work themselves; club together to raise the cash to contract someone to do the work; get an organization to stump up a person to do the work; get an organization or seven to stump up cash to contract someone to do the work. There is nothing quite like providing a pull request to get things moving ;-) -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
