[Aide-devel] Re: Aide development

[Richard v. d. B. <ri...@vd...>]

Hello Rob,

I am pleased that you want to spend some time on the aide code. Please 
note that Mark has not been active in the project for a while. The best 
way to reach the active developers is to use the 
aid...@li... address. Please subscribe to this list 
yourself.

For contributing code, I think it is best you start out with the aide 
0.11 code. If you have experience with CVS, I can create a branch for 
you to work on. This way your efforts will not get in the way of regular 
patching, etc.

Sincerely,

Richard van den Berg
