Tim, in order to help Gaby and Waldek to submit patches (which at least 
Gaby said, he will do), it is very important that they know the svn 
revision numbers of the changes that you took out.

*Please, post the ranges of SVN revisions* (something like 
234:256,332:341, etc.) that you took from Waldek's or Gaby's branch and 
post them to the list.

If that is done then we probably would not have to vote about taking 
over Waldek's branch and just move it to trunk. That this will cause 
problems for you is clear. But at the moment, there is no easy way to 
relate the patches that you have applied to trunk to revision numbers of 
Gaby's and Waldek's branch. That is one of the current problems. It is 
not the unwillingness to contribute to trunk.
It is the problem that we cannot agree on *one* SCM and that the 
relation between trunk and build-improvements and wh-sandbox is unclear.
