Hi all,
First of all I would like to appreciate the founders of this wonderful Library. It has surely helped me a lot in proving solutions to the companies I work with. I would also like to thank all the contributors. I hope we will continue this way and make this library better. I had a suggestion concerning the future of this library. We can try and make this library popular mainly get more developers to work on it. I suggest we also get  a roadmap for the direction we want this library to take. This will help in making sure that the development will not get to a halt. Personally I would like to contribute some more in maybe helping people get running on using the library, write robust code to use for the conversion and also write some code for the development. Let me know what your thoughts are on this?
Regards Richard Gathogo.
Love covers a multitude of sins.

Hi Richard.

Mirko doesn´t have so much time for this project, and he is really
looking for someone/people to take over.
I am also busy with work and life, but I would still like to continue
contributing as much as I can, however it will be limited.

What I suggest you to do is try to look at the current issues at hand.
Then you can choose and fix one of them and upload a patch. Mirko or
me can install the patch.
In this way it is also easier to review the code, and also grant you
commiter status if Mirko finds this natural.
Of course, discussion on road map for the future, and suggestions are
welcome.
One suggestion I have is to move the current source to GitHub, as it
is much easier to push and pull requests.

Actually, there is no need to move to GitHub just to get Git.
I see that Google Code now has support for Git.
I dont have admin rights, so I cannot change to Git. This is something
Mirko has to do.

Mirko, what do you think?
I haven´t tested the UI for git on Google Code. Its probably not as
nearly as good as GitHub, but its a start?

Hi Shervin,
Thank you so much for the information. I have checked out the code and opened using the Netbeans IDE. I will start learning about it. Then I can create a few patches and see how it goes. I will update you on the progress.

Regards Richard Gathogo.

Shervin: you have admin rights now. Feel free to experiment with Git
if you think that'll make it easier to accept contributions.

Cheers

Mirko

Alright.

Thanks. Will experiment when I get some time.
Really busy though at the moment.
