Thanks Andrei,
Yeah I guess, I was just trying to follow protocol here,
I saw on their site: "Introduce yourself
<https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/brlcad-devel>, and we'll help
you plan one right for you.", and thus thought this would be the way to go.
Let's hear what they say, if this is not the way to go they could just
quickly tell me. Nobody is busy enough to say 'Hi'.
Regards,
Alex.
