Hi all,

[ A happy man has recovered all of the data on its lost partition :-) ]

It's been slow for me since end of december but things are getting clearer :-)
I am working on an automated administration tool that will help me track down a 
couple of things 
and hopefully relieve me of all the time I spend in email :)

Emmanuel and I noticed A LOT of people have subscribed to this mailing list.... 
[it's about 10 
newcomers if I could count right... ^_^]
Well first let me welcome you. We're glad to gain such a momentum [I don't 
think we deserve it 
for now but hey let's hope we will soon :P] :o)
Up to now this is a pretty quiet list but you new subscribers have the power to 
change this! :o)

--> Could you please all introduce yourself, and tell us if you are just a 
lurker, or a potentiel 
developer, or if you are willing to help in any other way?
Thanks in advance! I can't tell how impatient I am to know who subscribed to 
this list lately!

Didn't check at this time but if you haven't done so yet please let me tell you 
your commit is 
pretty much expected, hoped and awaited for :-).

Yup. I'm working from nettle source. I'm close to nowhere cause I had close to 
no time at all to 
spend on it. But I should find some time for it soon.

Emmanuel said he hadn't much time but he's still willing to put together 
documentation on what 
he found out about interfacing with drivers.

On a different note, you might have noticed than John Gabriele posted (on the 
main OBOS list) a 
question about how the BeOS Network Kit compares to an API called ACE. I don't 
know ACE at 
all and just gave a very quick and fast glance at their website. Judging from 
the 30 seconds I 
spent there it looks to me ACE might be some kind of MUSCLE equivalent.
If anybody knows more than I do on this subject, please feel free to comment 
about it and share 
with us what you know about it.

Jean
