Wendy, I'm all for syncing it with the central repository, it's just a question of how. Googlecode doesn't give shell access so I have no access to cron to sync things up. I could sync it up manually by checking it out and running the rsync on my local machine, but that seems less than ideal. An

I don't have IE (nor a Windows machine), so I can't tell what the problem is. However, do the other two buttons ("Download Now" and "Get Started") display? There should be three, equally sized buttons: blue, red, yellow. On Nov 27, 2007, at 1:10 PM, Ted Husted wrote: The images are bla
