First, I'm busy. I run a bike repair shop. It is on a DIY basis, but someone has to maintain order and see to it every day that its clean and tools aren't abused and end up it their right places, clean and operational and ready to use for the next guy. Here is a couple of photos [1]. I don't sleep many hours a night, believe me. Second, while I'd love to help, I don't know how to do it in that form. My Gnus is so super-configured and -extended it would be near impossible to track what and where an error would be, if I found one. I don't even know how to use Gnus without all that extra stuff of mine. I'd be completely lost. Feel free to browse my code [2] - I'm sure so much is redundant (already there, only better) but when I came to Gnus I had no patience doing stuff the right way so I solved all issues, again, DIY style. (Some of it may be good OTOH. It always worked for me, at least.) But probably you don't want to do that, because I know *you* are busy! So if you think I can contribute to the Gnus project, rather, is there some thing that is on the TODO list, but hasn't been done or has been abandoned/put on hold at an early stage? Something like that I could do, _maybe_. I make no guarantees tho... Keep in mind also that while I'm a decent programmer in the engineering sense, I don't really understand what goes on under the hood, protocols and secure sockets and what have you. Just tellin'.
