I guess you'll finish item #1 on your own. What about #2 (security related issues). Could you elaborate more, can you split the work to pieces so others can help? I could spent some time on this if you provide some more details and be sure I don't do duplicate work. > > Following this, it would be great to get Nektarios's excellent patches > in and iron out any issues; I've seen at least one potential one, > which I'll raise separately - (I like the "harmonizing" concept I > think Juho mentioned) and release version 1.2/1.5/2.0 depending on how > significant our renewed energy and redefined image is. Thanks for your kind comment. Please raise the issues related to my patches as soon as possible, so I can fix them ;-) Do you also think I need to split the "Layer3Forwarding and minor enhancements" patch into smaller patches or is it ok as is ?
