Re: SVN Account Request: kriscraig

I'm starting to wonder if I'm sending this to the correct list. It's been another two weeks since my last email and I still have yet to receive a response. In fact, I haven't heard a thing from anyone since I sent the first patch out (as requested) back on August 10th. Could somebody (anybody) please email me a response when you get this? If you could tell me what I need to do and/or who I need to send this to in order to illicit an answer, I would be extremely grateful for your advice! I would be even more grateful (for whatever that's worth) if you have any thoughts on the latest date patch I sent. Thanks! --Kris On Fri, Sep 24, 2010 at 7:17 PM, Kris Craig <kris.craig@gmail.com> wrote: > It's been a couple months since I heard anything, so I wanted to check the > status of my request and update you on my efforts.
