GLEP I still have to start writing (mostly a reformatting of a mail I sent a long time ago), there is already a prototype implementation (doesn't cover everything yet but works generally), target is for when current trunk will be released (still have to settle on a version for it), which should hopefully be after 2.0.54 gets out (which should be in the next few weeks). At a guess I'd say 4 months till stable (but really, that's just a guess, see the 2.1 fiasko). Marius -- Public Key at http://www.genone.de/info/gpg-key.pub In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better.
