But certainly, in a meritocratic forum, anyone who had the qualification to object and didn't, must share the blame ;-) So, the money issue should be fixed through Moneybookers and Paypal, unless FSF is can cover it. This can also include the previous cost Patrick has paid. If the name change will reset the whole process (1/2 year, right?) that's a more serious issue. Of course, the OHF board may disagree on the name. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
