Thanks Giles. I wholeheartedly support your initiative and thank you for it. I took a break from the project this month but I'll be back at it in a couple of weeks. I believe that we could and should bring it to the next level and solidify all the great community, users and projects using it. I'll be in touch soon, Romain _______________________________________________ Savonet-users mailing list Savonet-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/savonet-users
