[jsword-devel] First Message

[Joe Walker]

Hi,

Immediate plans go - fix bugs and dont add functionallity until it is 
worthy of release.
I've been insanely busy over the past few weeks working in London, but I 
now have a job working 50% from home so I'm doing a lot less traveling. 
I hope I will get more time to spend fixing bug, although I am always 
very suspicious of people making promises like that!

As to what to do - whatever you like there is a file called bugs.txt 
that could do with bugs being added, (and fixed and taken away!)

Joe.
