Thanks, it's nice to hear that once in a while. :)

he he, it was meant to be ironic. :) Sadly, that was what happened to
me. I started to make some contributions and suddenly the whole project
was dumped on me, although it was never my intention to take over the

If I can find time to do that, I'd be happy to help out. But I don't
have much time, since I have two young and demanding kids at home.

But yes, it would be nice to have a team to take over this project.
