This is a community project - you'll only get out of it what you want to put [back] into it. So, instead of sending multiple nagging emails [about the same thing], why not propose some patches? You've obviously looked at the code, docs, etc - it seems only fair that you help out. Persistent complaining without pitching in will probably just turn folks ears deaf... - -- - ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world - ------------------------------------------------------------ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGbckwmaKbSsQGV8ARAkTrAJ9NyDK3n9NPO4wZ1aZOSmu8xOBhLgCeOJ5P jl4IA2wXef3G9+QDX8Ie/QM= =CVmW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://ecos.sourceware.org/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss
