For 61xx majority (I agree), many important (datacalls) still not work.
For 3xxx many things todo. Still long way. Also ringtones, bitmaps and
other things - long way.

Because there are available human resources. Just take them and want to
take them. That's why argument about lack of programmers is invalid.

Paweł, Paweł. I don't ask about Paweł now. Think your-self. What was
wrong ? If you haven't checked it, shouldn't answer about it.

So, there is lack of programmers & additionaly some them have to spend
their time on extracting source, where 4 of 8 parts (in this example)
are accepted without ANY problems (for next 2 are proposed better
solutions - mine were correct, but not excellent; for 2 we will
discuss)...

First, second, third, fourth patch accepted. Why do not extend list of
developers ? When I will make something wrong, there is CVS and it's
possible to return to earlier version.

Ow, I forgot, Paweł doesn't like me. That's very important reason.

He,he,he....So, where is moved all this stuff from ? ;-)))

Sure. But two people can discuss, when they know, what to discuss
about... See my next answer about gsm-sms.c. How can I discuss about it,
if Paweł doesn't use MSVC6 ?

Well, I want to have mygnokii functionality. But I'm not fanatic and I
still try to find also better solutions than in mygnokii.

Not I, but some of you mixed "include" and that's why it's required to
be moved (in this moment I think, it could be made, that gsm-data.h uses
gsm-sms.h and gsm-sms.c uses gsm-data.h; but I can't check, because
everything in gsm-sms.c is mixed - all stuff: ringtones, bitmaps, etc.,
etc.).

But gnokii developers not believe into it, because they think, their
source is the best (like Paweł doesn't want to separate gsm-sms.c)...But
it's not. There should be someone, who use both (Linux, WIn32) OS,
inside team.

You don't want, I will not ask for it. Now I'm waiting (few days) for
answer from Hugh. If he will ignore, I will probably unsubscribe gnokii
list.

PS. Maybe it's this way: I'm "wrong" guy, who think only, how to destroy
excellent source ? ;-)))))))) and doesn't have anything better to do
than moving excellent source from one file to another ? ;-)))))) Does it
look this way ? Really ?

Hmmm, is writing next version of software over 2 years and still having
long way to end it good ? There is way to change it...

If developers list would be extended or something like that, you would
have 0.4.0 this year. If each easy patch will be applied over weeks,
not. Believe me.
