I have asked him a number of times to join. I only got once responce
back about how he could not join due to some issues with being a closed
group. Given that we give out our diffs and let anyone in who has the
legal access to the source, I find this difficult to understand.
I don't know what to do. I still hope to find some time to finish
the Alpha work but CVS is much more important and will make the work
that much easier to manage. (Lots of little changes in prototypes
and return types)
