(...) Todd, How open are you towards receiving coding help from the community? I feel that I'd be less useful in helping develop policy, but I can do quite a bit in implementation. Is LUGNET modular enough to allow many hands in the code? Cheers, - (...) (25 years ago, 10-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) It really isn't, no. But from time to time there might be things which are encapsulatable enough to be done independently and worked in afterwards. The FTX-to-HTML compiler, for example, is fairly encapsulated -- except for the transclusion (...) (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) XV Rules! I do like the GIMP but for some things there is absolutely no substitute for XV. The color editor and visual browser functionality is unmatched.

(...) Just thought of something... One thing missing which would be 100% encapsulatable would be a filter to fix up icky encodings like "quoted-printable" (which cause stuff like =F6 and =20 to appear all over the place) into regular non-encoded (...)
