Hi Mike and others, I have been out of the JMeter loop for awhile and would like to start contributing documentation and eventually code. (Guess I should first check to see that my login still works...)
Let me know which areas of the documentation need updated. I have no problem digging through the code. Have we finished (started?) the migration to Jakarta Avalon (right?)? Before I left, that was the big thing we were talking about.
