I just noticed this addition to the board report for Forrest and have not noticed a copy of it going to our developer list.
I totally agree with this addition and thank David for adding it. My purpose for forwarding here is to highlight this issue to the widest possible community. In short we would welcome someone building a release for Forrest - anyone can do it and as David says it is well documented (and I'm sure people will come out of the woodwork to help in the odd spare minute).
