We publish all code and scripts we use for such stuff - and if users want to, they have access to this - to use and deploy within the GPL framework. What we do expect is that users who make this effort contribute back to the community rather than just sponging ( is there such a word ? ) off it. its not always possible for the developers to be doing support and also working on the backend stuff, so its nice to see some of the users come up and help. -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219 at icq
