Do you think that anyone is willing to work on anything at all? No one's getting paid, so they work on what's "interesting". If there's no description, then whatever you're after getting done isn't very likely to be "interesting". It might well have been a method for automated spamming. Your description is what I was after ... it's just a little depressing, because a large number of requests look like yours, so people aren't figuring out that keeping things a secret isn't the very best way to go. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@picnic.mat.net | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (Solaris7). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
