I know - I think I did not only read your document, but also understood it. > As such, it isn't a that important file for maintainers. Well, yes, but they should nevertheless inform the right people. I'm currently writing a patch for the developer's reference (and wanted to ask you anyway whether I could use your text as a basis). I think in the developers reference it would be much better to have a role defined there, not single persons - they might change, or simply others might be added. So does your answer mean that there is no role account, and not even a name for the role? Or is there something sensible that I can write? TIA, Frank -- Frank K�ster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ.
