Uh, I must have forgotten something. Can you send me what I offered to the community to vote on? The last vote was in November 2005 if I remember right, and we will probably have another one this November. All the Feature Requests that I have received to date are in the "projects" file in the main directory of the CVS. If one is missing, chauk it up to human error -- it is because my previous procedures for dealing with Feature Requests was not idea.
