Thank you for all of this information, links and others! :-) I've subscribed to the pkg-sympa-devel mailing list and created an account at Alioth (I think I understood what you mean by "don't try make sens of Alioth web interface"...!). I'll wait until Emmanuel has time to push his 6.2 branch in order to see if I can help - and how, and proposing you a first patch by email before requesting membership to your Alioth group. Anyway, I'm already delighted with our few exchanges and impatient to start contributing! Jérôme
