Re: [Vym-devel] VYM - Features

[Phil R. <ph...@pr...>]

Uwe,

Should I add my last few requests on this list to the sourceforge
tracker?

I have downloaded the code and will try and have a look at it in the
next few days.  However because of time constraints, if I have time
(which is unlikely the way things are going), I could probably only work
on enhancements that I am waiting for . .

Regards,

Phil.
