HI everybody,

I'm really glad that people are sufficiently interested in xlog to keep 
writing to this email list!

I understand that there are many issues that need to be addressed, and I 
will become more expedient at addressing them as I learn how the code 
works.  Adding Cabrillo v3 export support was needed IMHO and fairly 
easy to add.  I will finish the Cabrillo v3 support with the addition of 
the import support.  I gain confidence manipulating the code with these 
small successes.

I would like the next couple of releases to implement a small number of 
fixes or features as I learn the code.  To use a baseball analogy, I'd 
rather hit a couple of successful singles as the new maintainer than to 
take a big swing at a home run and miss.

Joop created the xlog2 tree at version 2.0.5 so I'd have a solid 
starting point.  The xlog tree is still in place.

I would like to create a clean slate with the bug reports and start 
fresh.  If ADIF output is not up to specs, please file a bug so we can 
track the issue and it won't be forgotten.  A pointer to a current ADIF 
spec will help a lot.

I'm also aware of the scoring window issue and confusion caused by the 
use of "0" as an indication of goodness.  Chris KC2SYK will, I think, be 
filing an "enhancement request" :-) for this issue.

I'm not up to date on the CTY.DAT issue.  If someone can explain the 
problem in a bug report, that would be most appreciated, again, so the 
issue isn't lost.

Joop has been very helpful to me in this transition, for which I thank him.

Thanks, everybody, for all of the helpful suggestions.

Have a lot of fun, and 73,

Andy
