If you have a patch that works for you, make sure it's published either on epiawiki.org, viaarena.com, another place where it's findable, or unichrome.sf.net if they'll take it. epiawiki.org is probably the best place. That's the first step in keeping good relations with open source developers: publish everything you write that you use, in a place where it is visible, even if it seems like a "trivial" patch to you. -- Jamie |
