<i>&gt;    (<a href="mailto:sane-cvs@mostang.com">sane-cvs@mostang.com</a> ?).</i><br>
<i>&gt;  - Every day a source snapshot is extracted, wrapped up and made</i><br>
<i>&gt;    available on FTP</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; Any comments?  Any reason this has not been done earlier?</i><br>

Hi Petter,I think it is not necessary because for most of the sourcecode there<br>
is one<br>
person who is developing it.<br>
I am programming the umax-backend and it would be a lot of work for me<br>
to keep the code clean if other people change the code. It is much better for me<br>
<p>
if someone who likes to have changed something in the umax-code,  sends me a<br>
mail with a diff-file or describers what should be changed, so I am always<br>
informed about every change in the code.<br>
<p>
There are only litte parts that may be changed by every sane-programmer.<br>
<p>
So I must say I prefer it the way it is now!<br>
<p>
Bye<br>
Oliver<br>
