How many times people need to be told to put their damned code in sources? Or is this such a totally crazy thing to ask of a supposedly open source project? Or is asking people to do 9fs + cp(1) too much? Of course it would be better if people actually posted a short comment about their work to 9fans, but I can do even without that as long as people puts the damned code somewhere where others can find it. Because it is not the first, second or third time we have to go through this ridiculous game. It was embarrassing enough to have people submit one GSoC proposal after another where we had to tell them "oh, I'm sorry, that is already done, it is just that whoever did it has not bothered to release the code so far, please come up with another project". uriel
