OK, Enough! I'm out of the pool. Here's what I ask: 1) Somebody point me at the code that we intend to merge into 2.2. (I, for one, would like to see this in 2.2-RELEASE. It's cool, seems to be stable, and is trivial to set up. 2) Tell me who the maintainer-du-jour is; I'll work with him, his release notes ;-) and his code to work up the docs. 3) Settle for once and all whether it's Jordan's '-alias' flag in the command line or Martin's 'set nat on|off' (Which I think is more elegant, at least in theory). I'll do testing and documentation if someone will show me the Release Candidate code that I can hammer on for a while. ....sjs... ---------- > From: Jordan K.
