Hey Daniel, Good points on all of the below - you're right that it's out of date. If you want to make a first pass at updating it, that would be a great help. Otherwise hopefully someone can get to updating the page this week.

All patches eventually get committed to svn (which mirrors to git) -Todd On Sun, May 23, 2010 at 5:42 PM, Daniel Ploeg <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I wanted to introduce myself for those who don't know who I am and make a > request to the more experienced members of the group.
