Hi Mathieu,

That's all helpful to know. Clearly, we are working very hard to promote
free software at our University and beyond, and with some success. Since
I've managed to (mostly) get my head around the way Savane works I find
it nicer to use all the time, though there are always some niggles (as
there always are with such big programs). So, in summary, I don't wish
to leave Savane, and would in a perfect world like to contribute patches
towards the small new features I would like to see.

I confess that I am already frighteningly busy, as the SVN commit times
on my own projects will testify, but, as a fellow of the FSFE and a
person committed to free software I am willing to contribute a little
time if it helps. Others might be too, including my colleague Gordon
Crawford.

Indeed, I have been building experience packaging our own PHP code for
Debian, and once I had completed that task for our next big release late
this month or early next month, I did hope to turn my attention to
whether packaging for Savane could be improved.

So, in summary, we at the University of Ulster are very busy for the
next few weeks, but after that perhaps we can help, at least a little.

CT.
