And there was me thinking it was Remy and Konstantin keeping an eye on me :). You only have to look at the archives to find the long list of silly mistakes I have made over the years. Being serious for a minute, I do think that the Tomcat dev community is a great place to get more involved in open source. If anyone on the users list wants to get more involved in bug fixing, improving documentation, implementing new features etc. then do hop over to the dev list. There is plenty to do and we are always on the look out for more volunteers. What ever it is you want to get involved in, let us know on the dev list and we can point you in the right direction.
