Matt, > I have some very basic C/C++ skills but am reluctant to take on > maintainership(?) of any ports for fear of lack of skill. I have no such fear and rely on my relationship with the original developer(s) to help with build or runtime issues I can't fix or answer on the couple of ports I maintain. Then again, I maintain easy ports which probably aren't used by too many folks. So, go far it and take maintainership. If it gets too much, you can give it up without shame. -Andrew- -- _______________________________________________________________________ | -Andrew J.
