We're contemplating moving to github, in which case you could simply submit pull requests. Do you have github experience? We prefer patches against trunk for new functionality and bug fixes - when applicable - which can then be backported to all relevant maintained branches. This ensures problems which have been fixed in 1.3 stay away when upgrading to 1.4 -- instead of (frustratingly) reappearing. Welcome and thanks for taking the time to find, report and even fix the issues you find! -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP. Robust and Flexible. No vendor lock-in.
