Greetings
|
|
Well i'm keen - who do i get in touch with? David Wheeler? How? Is there a group of some sort working on this?
|
|
Sorry for the question-cluster-bomb David but this is something that i'd love to work on. I'm on the hunt for a Linux/LDP task that grips and i think this is it. Happy happy joy joy as some toon loon once said.
|
|
|
|
Seriously though, i'm dead keen. I only run a 486 built from others rubbish but have somehow absorbed vast ammounts of info re document management/integration and suchlike over the years (it's a sort of enthusiasm of mine) and have the time to spare for a worthwhile project. So i'd really appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction(s) &/or do the introductory thingy.

Cheers
