Translating your messages was the hardest part of 49.html. Really. Completely clear and transparent in english, but curiously compacted. (You may have some fun at the end of the week - just in case you'll look at the translation, then.) > Amit Kulkarni wrote on Wed, Nov 02, 2011 at 09:18:55AM -0500: > > Yeah, its a lot of work... found out the hard way.

(Nothing what Ingo Schwarze said about required knowledge is true for me though. I'm only a userland-library programmer. :)) Due to the expected time that is required (i spent almost five days of free time on 49.html), i really would appreciate to be part of a team. I.e., maintaining plus.html without doing at least a shallow message/manual(/code) audit doesn't seem to be useful to me. And we're talking about some 300 commits per month, of which the most have to be included (it seems). This file was *actively maintained* by a *single* person in the past! I didn't know that! Wow!! I guess i thought that this file is produced automatically, maybe by magic cvs(1) commit-message-tags or the like. Well, i hope i don't promise too much and too fast.. What do you think? Thanks and good night, --steffen
