O.K. - I can take care of that. I've written keyboard mappers for several
OSes now, so I should be able to quickly hack something up
Marcus: I see more activity again, especially on your side. Maybe we should
meet in IRC again soon and see that we get the final issues fixed and a
final release out (before Xmas ?).
I will be very busy until next Thursday, when I will have a demonstration
deadline for a system I developed, and I'll be out of town this weekend, so
I suggest next weekend for a meeting.
We should then decide what really needs fixing (the PingPong issue I will
detail in another mail e.g.) and do that and then freeze out a final
release.
