Re: Motif Port

[Chris.Bitmead@misys.com.au]

If it makes it easier for you, I'd like to take over maintenance of xguile
for a little while. It seems to be
basicly working, but I can see already things that need to be changed and
fixed. So if Jim or whoever can
tell me how to make it available, that would be great. And if there is some
formalities I need to agree to let
me know too. I'm self-employed so there is no hassle.

Also, I'm hoping shortly to start releasing my Motif-TCLOS progress, and
I'd like to make it available in
contrib if possible.
