Jeremy,
I'd like to do some light hacking on the X11 code base but I'm having
a hard time understanding the development model. Are you pushing
changes to the fd.o repository, or do you send patches to Ben? Can
you provide a clue on how I can stay up to date with your changes
while working on my own? I'd be happy to read some docs online if you
have any suggestions.
Thanks,
