Will.

Good hearing from you.
Can you please give write access to svn again. I think I removed  
myself from the project some time ago because I didn't do anything  
for it for a long time.
My sourceforge account is: mdbergmann

Will, can you tell me the process for releasing a new version of  
MacSword. Are there beta testers for all the different languages?
How does this normally work?


so long,
Manfred
