Great... but *where*? Remember: I'm not a Fink developer, and I don't have an account on SourceForge. When I follow the "Submit a new Fink Package" link, I get a page titled "Browse Package Submissions". Neither the form nor the roughly 100 links on that page allow me to submit anything as far as I can tell. Granted, I really *like* the Fink project, and I might even like to join SourceForge and help out on a regular basis -- but that's beside the point. My suggestion relates to folks with only enough time to "scratch their own itches" so to speak -- who simply want to contribute their work back to the project to save someone else from having to duplicate the effort. Perhaps you have enough developers already that you don't need contributions from outsiders. If so, great. But if you could use more help, then maybe a simple explanation of "how to contribute new packages" somewhere might be helpful. Again, thanks for Fink. It's very nice. :-) - Hoss ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
