Re: Today's quick check of ubiquity

Hi Leigh,

As John mentioned, it's going to be a little while before IBM lets IBM
programmers do some programming on this. :;) So the best thing to do
would be to join the Google Group that is linked to from the front of
the project, and mail your stuff to there.

Myself and my colleague Paul Butcher were trying to get a few bits and
pieces tidied up in the library before we opened the doors, but it
looks like we might be too late. :) So please bear with us as we try
to get the infrastructure and modules ready for wider community
involvement.

Regards,

Mark
