Hi BJ:
Thanks - I saw the issue. Is there a better way to get things like this fixed? Better yet, not have them enter into the system in the first place? My concern - and it should be everyone's concern who cares about this project - is this is our main touch point with the outside world. Someone downloads the nightly version and right off the bat - it doesn't work. I'm not talking about something deep down inside the bowels of the code base, I'm talking about page one. From a marketing/sales point of view this is worse than nothing at all. Just my 2 cents.

It's great that you're looking at things from this perspective Ruth. As a generality my guess is that yes, chances are you'll run into a number of small issues like this that people have just used workarounds for instead of fixing them. And yes, it needs to be fixed (as has been discussed). In fact, I thought it HAD been fixed, but I guess not... -David On Jun 17, 2009, at 10:13 AM, Ruth Hoffman wrote: > Hi BJ: > Thanks - I saw the issue.
