Hi Taco,
Its good to hear that somethings are going on behind the scenes.
I'm a semi-retired perl coder and a full time Linux/Oracle/Apache/Weblogic
sys admin in my proper job and I'm helping a friend setup a new UK based
hosting business based around BQ based boxes so have plenty of exposure to
the BQ software, so I can help in the usage/bug finding area. I'll probably
also be able to provide hosting for some mirrors of the code, ISOs, etc. on
a box I have in London docklands.
Count me in!
Andy
