I'm very thrilled to hear so many people who want to help develop Dia. Or maybe y'all didn't read Hans' message thoroughly - he asked what you want to *do* for 0.97, not what you want to have done. There's no lack of suggestions for improvement, but a serious lack of people doing any work (me included at the moment). So please, if you like Dia, and are not afraid of a little C hacking, a bit of effort on your part can go a long way towards a better 0.97. -Lars _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Faq Main page at http://live.gnome.org/Dia
