hello guys. sorry for not replying immediately. we do accept outside contributions. i've previously posted things where we need assistance. unfortunately, there were limited replies. we're trying to do with our current resources (that's 2 people working for the BLv1.1). yes, we're already developing the next version and our target release is sometime this december/january2003. the version will address issues raised by current bayanihan linux users (the need to issue insmod, PPP, OpenOffice RPM to name a few). people already volunteered for some tasks (paolo f. is doing the compiler upgrade, bam already gave his customized mozilla). students also came to us to help with the documentation. if you guys would like to help, we definitely welcome it. but we don't know what you would like to do. it would be better if you come to us with an idea as to what you would like to contribute. however, if your not sure what to do, you could look at my previous post (i already posted the tasks we need to accomplish). thank you jijo for replying.
