Yes this will help :).

CVS knowledge helps a great deal, especially with FG. Of course broadband
helps a great deal with CVS...

No kidding...After a week or less even my one ended up  with some out of
date sections. Part of the "problem" is that FG is a very fast moving
target. As I think Curt mentioned, the old stable branch is not what
people want as all the cool stuff is in the CVS version :).

I know I should know this, but what is the roadmap for version 1.0?
