I'm grateful to all the developers, contributors, writers, and translators.
I don't know what I would do without LilyPond!

And I'm glad you listed the developers, contributors, writers, and
translators. They deserve the recognition!

Thanks for the message, David. And Thomas Morley, you have my gratitude and

David -

Words fail me.

LilyPond owes you so much.

I wish you the best in your new job.

Bug Squad Rota

2013-01-06 Thread Ralph Palmer
Greetings Colin, Bug Squaders, and Developers -

Thanks, Colin, for running the scripts and reporting the Bug squad metrics.

I have a request to make. I live in the eastern U.S., and at least some of
the Bug Squaders appear to live in Europe. My usual (most reliable) time on
the computer on the weekend is in the morning. As a result, I frequently
don't have any bugs to evaluate when I get up on Saturday morning, and I
frequently don't get back to the Bug List until Sunday morning. By that
time, someone in Europe has usually snagged my Saturday bugs. In the
interest of equity of labor, I'm requesting that someone who has one of the
weekdays (where I'm more often at the computer later in the day) switch
with me. If no one wishes to switch, I can stay on Saturday, but I probably
won't catch as many bugs as I ought.

I appreciate your time, your attention, and your help,

Ralph

Greetings -

I'm directing this primarily to bug-list folks. This was submitted over a
week ago, and I see no action. Did I miss something? I don't understand
fonts or typefaces or their parameters well, so I don't understand whether
there is a bug or not. Perhaps this should be a feature request. I'm willing
to add it to the tracker if someone can confirm that it is a bug or else
determine that it should be a feature request. In either case, I'd like
something more succinct.

I appreciate your time and attention,

Ralph
