Please do not let the actions of one developer who doesn't understand the difference between production and test get in the way of making your code open source. > So, I'll be following the standard software lifecycle of dev-test, > alpha/pre-production, production. Just like software should be done. -- Jay Maynard, K5ZC at K6ZC port B http://www.conmicro.com http://www.k6zc.org http://www.tronguy.net http://jmaynard.livejournal.com (Yes, that's me!) http://www.hercules-390.org
