Re: Would like to take over Cache Lite

Bring it on! I've not contributed yet, but I am a heavy user. I've managed development organizations before, and am very much an advocate of the entire QA process. I personally think QA is frequently more challenging than development, and I always stood up for my QA guys when developers would say something ignorant. Having said that, I am a developer, so sooner or later, I'll likely say something ignorant too. My ego is not fragile, and whatever doesn't kill me makes me stronger. What's next?
