I can volunteer to follow/try to understand patches of the "general
users", like myself.
However my internal knowledge of linuxcnc is limited and I could end up
in not having the capability of be up to the task.
If I feel that I am not able to fulfill the task, do not get me wrong!
Please also note that I do not have push capability and that my
volunteer work would be to report back to this list.
