AV>TB> Aha... have _you_ ever done something tecnical represantive AV>TB> for fido?
AV> Being mostly a nodelist clerk, does he really need to?
That is 100" correct.
AV>TB> Written some patches?
AV> According to my memories: only proposed. However, good feature request AV> may be almost a half of all work.
Let me think about some of the things which I did ...
* Ending the R24-schism. Torsten only joined Fidonet in 1996 so he wouldn't be aware of that * Introducing IP into the nodelist (mark my words, no claim of inventing it) against the express wishes of IC and ZC1 Bob Satti who, for political reasons during an election, was credited for it by David Moufarrege. Bob wanted to keep Fidonet PSTN-pure. * Introducing/allowing Pvt for IP-only nodes when nothing else was possible (and getting a lot of flak for it by the fundis) * Introducing INA against the express wishes of Michiel * Introducing daily-nodelists * Introducing an UTF8-nodelist by request of Michiel, which I think no-one uses * Whenever I could, meet people, have a beer, eat something ... it is remar- kable how one's perception of another person can change after that ... RC20, RC24, RC25, RC26, RC28, RC29, RC30, RC37, RC41 ... ZC1 (David Moufarrege, Janis Kracht, Nick Andre), ZC2 (Henk Wevers, Ron Dwight, Alexander Holy, Felix Kasza), ZC4 (Pablo Kleinman, Gamey Garcia) and I hope next year to visit a former ZC6 (Carol) * I also wish some of the Russian sysops would remind me in a timely manner of the annual impromptu beer-meeting in a Moscow park. * Introducton of PING. That is nothing major but I do get several PING requests, so it must serve a purpose... * Auto-converting old ISDN-flags * Implement IBN IFC ITN IVM IMI ISE ITX IUC IEM IFT ETX EVY EMA RPK NPK SDS SMH CDP ENC ... * Adding a CRC in REGION-segments where one is missing or incorrect prior to processing
... and a lot more but alas it doesn't fall under the Torsten guideline of doing "something tecnical represantive" "write software" "write patches".
AV>TB> and we work together with our friends in other zones.
AV> Now here goes the most important question: git clone what?
