No problem. what you should keep in mind, when doing open source, is : you should not see it as an obligation or something that will make you unhappy . Just work when you have some time. And take pleasure to it.
So it's not a problem if you're not familiar with Python, nor GTK . Just take your time and ask me when you need some help. I can sense that you want to learn, and that's the more important point :-) . 2008/4/21, Neil Sun <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Hello, > > Sorry for my late reply. > > I'll look into the code especially the ConfigManager class and > SBConfigGTK.py.
