Hi Steffen,
sorry, but I lost a bit track of the various patches that you have
created. Care to put your git repository online somewhere, might be
easier to review then?
And you seem to be quite interested in improving the installer. As we
can always use more manpower, would you be interested in taking over
some responsibility for the installer? You get commit rights, but you
also have to answer bug reports and review patches. Of course not alone,
we are still there, but then I would feel less bad for not doing that
promptly :-)
Greetings,
Joachim
