Mark, Thank you for your note, it does clear up the confusion over this quite a bit. Regarding your comment that patches are always welcome. I am interested in pursuing this with the Jasper code base. What channels do I need to go through to open up a clear line of communication/assistance with this? I'm willing to put some of my time in on it but, would like the reassurance that I can gain access to the Jasper developers to work with them.
