And that they completely do not understand Open Source. It isn't as straight forward as submitting "a patch that worked for me". Developers will frequently have questions about the patch, the patch will have been created incorrectly (suprisingly frequent), etc... You'd think someone who took the time to create a patch would be willing to respond to a few e-mails in order to get it upstream. -- -- Adam Tauno Williams Network & Systems Administrator Consultant - http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com Developer - http://www.opengroupware.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
