My comment was a bit tongue-in-cheek. The main problem seems to be follow-through: willing to see that the software is completed and debugged into a usable piece of software. This usually takes a certain amount of commitment to the project. This is what seems to be lacking the most. A lot of people talk about what it should, or shouldn't contain, but not many people seem to be willing to help code it up. > Note that the GUI design and implementation proceeds we may > need to tune > or add to the API that already exists in AVRDude.

I'm happy to hear that! :-) _______________________________________________ avrdude-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/avrdude-dev
