Hello Steve,

I have added you to  genes as a developer.
It will still take some time before I have time enough to continue with the
development of genes. But I already put some changes in CVS and I planned
to update the handling (reading and writing) of dates in a better way, 
before
doing a next release.

Kind regards,
Geert
