You know what I'm about to say. :-) Come on, come on, just show us the code, as unbearable as you may find that. Release early, release often, let us get our paws on it and help you. :-) If for whatever reason you'd rather not have it on Toolserver, you can get a Git repository hosted with Wikimedia https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git/New_repositories and share it there. -- Sumana Harihareswara Volunteer Development Coordinator Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Toolserver-l mailing list (Toolserver-l@lists.wikimedia.org) https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/toolserver-l Posting guidelines for this list: https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Mailing_list_etiquette
