Hi Manuel, yes, I do understand, I was only pointing out what current wiki is :)
Many open source projects have moved documentation from the code repositories to wikis, so that users can contribute to it without requiring commit rights nor learning complex (and per-project) procedures. In my opinion AspectJ should do the same, so that we can help on it. Simone 2010/4/18 Manuel Menezes de Sequeira <[email protected]> > Hi Simone, > > Sure.
