If I get 6 hours to play with Fedora on a week I am ecstatic. If this was mentioned 1.5 years ago, 6 months ago, etc.. it is gone from the brain of most of the people who may be developing something completely different from this one feature. Thats one of the issues with communication in a virtual environment.. you must continuously do it because people join, leave, focus on their own project, etc. Sadly putting it up on a web page is not enough because there are too many webpages, too many twitters, etc for people to know whats important until it smacks them in the face and says "Oh we changed your XYZ, please redo all your docs for us." -- Stephen J Smoogen. -- BSD/GNU/Linux How far that little candle throws his beams!
