I think there are three steps to getting something done. Knowing something needs to be done. Knowing that the something is doable. Doing it.

Oh and needs to be done can be as simple as "the pumpking would gladly merge patches that do X". Yves -- perl -Mre=debug -e "/just|another|perl|hacker/"Thread Previous | Thread Next
