Re: [perl-win32-gui-hackers] an introduction

Hi Darrik,

Firstly let me apologise for the length of time it's taken me to get 
back to you, although I see that some of the regulars have already 
welcomed you into the fold.  Also let me thank you for offering some of 
your time, and I hope that we can make your time spent here worthwhile.

I think I've added you to the project as a developer with CVS access - 
but the sourceforge user interface has its quirks (you'll come to love 
it), so please let me know if you have any problems.  You should also 
have the correct permissions to administrate tracker items.  You'll find 
documentation on SourceForge to help you get set up, and please call on 
us here if you need any assistance.

I think your plan of picking some "low-priority" items to start to find 
your way around is a good plan - but please note that the 'priority' 
assigned in the trackers is fairly arbitrary:  most have the default 
'5'; a couple of items that I though were important to deal with have 
higher priority, and a few lower.  Those with priority '1' have been 
dealt with, and will be closed when we make the next release.  If you 
can't find anything that you think is suitable for starting with in the 
trackers, then let me know, and I have a whole list of other items from 
which I would be happy to select a handful for you to have a look at.

Good luck, and welcome on board.

Regards,
Rob.
