Although we have people that would like to test out your code while in=20 development, lets keep it clean for every party what is yours and what=20 is not. So use git, bzr, or what ever tool and try to keep in sync with=20 HEAD. In meanwhile you can provide patches or tarballs of your build if=20 people want to test it out. When GSoC is completed then we will merge your code. Anyway, I think it=20 will be quite isolated in yours case. And also what Robert said about stability... Thanks, Vesa J=E4=E4skel=E4inen
