While I am not and have never been a member of Fink core, I have been around for a long time. From the time (ca 2006/2007) when the server from xs4all was donated to Fink, I seem to remember that the person who did basically all the contact with them and most of the installation was Benjamin Reed (AKA rangerrick). Also around was the Fink leader David R. Morrison (AKA drm or dmrrsn). -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try New Relic Now & We'll Send You this Cool Shirt New Relic is the only SaaS-based application performance monitoring service that delivers powerful full stack analytics.
