I know it seems somewhat risky, but it is a WIKI. If you see ways to fix it, or even just mark that it iseems out of date, that is an improvement. Lots of small improvements will make a big difference. (/me promises to put editing where mouth is.)
Another thing is that usually people who work on one page or another *watch* it. So, if you or I make some change, they will check to see what it is, and then they will fix anything bad we do (because we are ignorant losers). This is a good way to prompt the people who really *do* know to make some changes that they have been putting off. Lastly, if they complain, we can moan about *true open source*... lee On Fri, Sep 10, 2010 at 10:53 PM, Sheet Spotter <sheet.spot...@gmail.com> wrote: > I would like to build the viewer-development source code under Windoze.
