I appreciate your reply and work. Just an idea: in my mind it would be awesome if we incorporated the practice of hearing from the core-devs from time to time. Maybe on a blog like rants.scribus.net ? I know that for example, MrB is oriented toward diminishing the bug count on Mantis as well as putting the finishing touches on a dedicated OSX bleeding edge nightly generator. Jghali has been as well but I'm not sure the full orientation. It would be cool to get a bi-weekly check-in with possible news. You could all send me news and I'd be happy to post it. Just planting seeds, seeing if they'd grow :) Cheers, /Kunda -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
