Yes, that would be great. Well, that is - after my current project is done (by the end of week). There is so tight schedule that we have no time to think about writing good code, so quick&dirty hardcode occurs pretty often. So my "patch" now is not so good... For example, in order to support KML 2.1 as well as KML 2.2 I had to make some ugly modifications to Namespaces.as, Kml22.as (which ended up being Kml2x.as) and Coordinates.as. And there is "trace(something)" everywhere :).
But certainly, when time will be available - I can clean my code and join the project. Oh, but I must know what should I do to join? (beside installing svn- client, which I already have). Or I can just submit changes? On Sep 23, 10:55 am, "pamela (Google Employee)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ah, great to hear you used KMLParser.
