I wanted to contribute to this and several other open source programs, but
"ease of use" of CVS drove me off. For some reason, I *hate* CVS, even
updating from it, and I have never even tried getting CVS access and
commiting anything. I'm particulary mad at KDE for there one must download a
whole package of programs or even two in order to work on only one program.
And then when I do something I end up with possibly unstable copy of the
program for myself or not using my features until a stable copy is released.
By the way, I installed MW at my computer, and the first thing I had to do was
to put @ in front of each is_file and is_dir. Maybe there's something wrong
with my PHP settings, but perhaps that should be done in the main sourceas
well.
