Indeed ! I also feel extremely frustrated with this awesome project. The basis is quite stable and really powerfull but writing extensions/patches is totally useless. It is as is if you plan to release your work to the public. Now I am considering patching my own local cvs branch and do not offer my work to people (too much work/rewrite/whatever ...). I wish Tuomo would make it available through a CVS access even if we just have a read access. In fact there is absolutely no need to have direct read/write access and so Tuomo will keep the _ENTIRE_ control of the development. Then he would be free to accept/reject patches and same for write access to few people. Many Open Source/free project are organized that way AFAIK. Now maybe Tuomo has got his own reasons not to want to use a CVS to keep tracks of the developement evolutions but I can't really see which one ;) > Tom zeDek -- "Der Namen der Pop-Gruppe ABBA koennte von den Vornamen kommen.
