This is definitely the best way to get people to test it. I would like to ask that you - at least for a while - become the responsible person for the generic exporter. Wes is, I guess, too busy or not interested right now. So if you could please look at any additional patches for he general exporter and make a recommendation as to wether to apply them and what changes are necessary. I have just applied al your 7 patches and pushed the result. Can you please get in touch with tomas@tuxteam.de and see if and what has to be done with his patch? Thanks, in particular for your patience. - Carsten
