Ok. I can understand that.

I'm not sure I can volunteer to be the sole driving force behind a release (in fact, I know I can't) but it's possible we could assemble a few people that together could do so. Is there anyone reading this who could help get the next release out as part of a group? Do we have a release procedure document? > appropriate thing to do.

As I mentioned above, perhaps it's worth pursuing refactoring off any duties short of the actual SVN commit. Are there other things you think could be done by the community? > Cheers, > Robert. -- Chris 'Xenon' Hanson, omo sanza lettere Xenon AlphaPixel.com PixelSense Landsat processing now available! http://www.alphapixel.com/demos/ "There is no Truth.
