Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] DSSSL stylesheet maintenance
Raghavendra, See reply I sent to Peter. If your willingness to help extends to agreeing to test CVS sandbox builds, then I can volunteer commit patches and hand off CVS sandbox builds for you to test. Since I don't use the DSSSL sheets myself, I'm not terrifically enthusiastic about doing that, let me tell you. I think most people would be better off if they quit using the DSSSL sheets and moved XSL, but oh well. Anyway, I know what a frustration it can be if somebody from a free software project won't even take time to commit easy fixes for known issues and push out official releases with those fixes. And same thing I said in my reply to Peter: If your willingness to help extends to evaluating and committing patches yourself, and especially doing sandbox builds and testing them and maybe fielding bug reports and future enhancement requests), then I can add you to the project, with commit privileges. Then _you_ get to be the guy who takes the heat for not getting fixes made and not getting releases done. ;) --Mike "N.
