I *totally* agree. An active, assertive approach is needed. I recently
checked the cvs for DUN prefs, and noticed it needed some work (note I
am also a student learning c++ & the BeAPI). So, I fixed it up a tad
and sent the results to the author of the app. He has gladly accepted
the code and we'll work together in the future. I thought I may just
mention this to inspire others. Even if you submit the *smallest* bit
of help, that opens the door to more coding. Every little bit helps,
every passive moment does not ;) Maybe this should be in the FAQ? :)
