I'm a bit late with this response, but back then I wanted to avoid unnecessary non-technical noise. But nobody should mistakenly assume I would not respect the constitution or otherwise neglect my duties as member of the xwin community. Although you already did get enough votes, a bit redundance should not harm: *** +1's (and meanwhile) congrats to all of the suggested candidates. *** Furthermore I hereby nominate the following people as xwin contributors, I hope it is not too late: J?rgen Keil (jkeil ) Ken Mays (kmays) -- rgds., %m
