Hi guys, czesc Karol, I'm writing this because I can see that Karol is a Pole like me :) and also I have been responsible for whatever has been done to the PyGTK version of the GUI - as little as it was.
Last 3 months was very busy for me - because of the financial crisis my project was laid off and I decided to switch jobs. I'm happy to let you know that from the 1-st of April I'm starting a new career as Ruby on Rails developer - I'm pretty exited about it. So that being said - Karol, I just wanted to let you know that I'm ready to help you with whatever is needed for you to take up this assignment - so feel free to ask questions. Wish you all best of luck. Ignacy P.S. Karol - oczywiscie mozesz zadawac mi pytania po Polsku - jesli tak bedzie dla ciebie latwiej.
