Adrian,
I'm not sure: Are you angry at me now? I hope not, and if you are: my
apologies. I sure don't intend to get in your way and I'm fully aware
that you're doing something in the vicinity. I certainly don't mind
sorting out any conflicts on my side. Since SVN write access doesn't
work anyway at the moment I won't commit anything immediately. I also
have to do a bit more testing tomorrow. I'm simply going down my task
list and this topic happened to come out on top. I just thought I'd
share what I came up with. After all this is nothing big and it's very
easy for me to go a different route if necessary. My main work was in
areas where you won't have to change anything.
But WDYT about my proposal? Useful? Stupid?
