Some weeks ago (after the 0.19 release) I sent you some logs because
syncing with my 6230i still doesn't work, but I didn't receive an answer
yet. Are you saying that it could be worthwile to try again using the
new devel branches? Will I get the newest devel branch when I just check
out the default module from SVN?

As someone who worked on both closed and open source projects during my
studies I know that it can be hard to find the right balance. Anyway,
good luck for your diploma thesis!

That's interesting. What is your exact field of study? Is it computer
science or electrical engineering or something else? I studied computer
science ("Informatik") but my main interest was in embedded realtime
systems. Infact, my diploma thesis also involved working with Linux/RTAI
and among other things also included programming a PID controller.
