I'm a pretty fair C coder, and can comfortably play with shell, awk, and sed scripts, too. I'm already involved in a few "global" projects, so I'm not too bad at managing/applying/supplying submissions. And guess what? I can write man pages and other documentation, too! I have web/ftp space available at my ISP (midwest USA), and it has some pretty fat pipes. Some logistics and details still need to be worked out before I/we really start anything (I hope to work them out in this thread, if I'm not kicked out for being off-topic). > -Hiten, Is that pronounced with a long or short 'i'?
