Ok thanks , I agree sometimes , when I try our something new , I do become over excited and it may cloud my judgement , I think I'll need some time to go though the wiki once more , there are more links on the home page now so I think I'll go though the tutorials and finish some of the 2 hour tasks to get familiar with BRL CAD try to make a patch etc . By the way I'm really new for things like making a proposal , setting a timeline etc , u see I'm from India and as of now , all the projects and stuff I had done , went something like this , a teacher or a senior , gave me a project task , a deadline and some reference material to go though to do it , so can we have a chat on irc or something although I'm kinda new to that also , I had a senior familiarise it to me for some extent
