Let us know if there is anything we could improve to help explain something that you get stuck on. It is easy to go blind in a project, so input from new users are very valuable. Btw, please cc the list so that the discussion is archived. /Simon _______________________________________________ Help-gnutls mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnutls
