Hi, it was me who started to write pieces of time information for the podcasts and this is the old topic: http://groups.google.hu/group/javaposse/browse_thread/thread/c4489f88ffc5e6ad

But if some people would join and we could share tasks somehow I would presumably restart this activity. V On okt. 13, 15:41, "Josh Juneau" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks for the great response.
