Alistair - if you (or anyone else) needs any help with a Free Software app
we're running a two page regular feature, called 'Help Wanted' in LXF.
It's for any Free Software project looking for _any_ help - not just
coders, but doc writers, testers, artists et al.

We've also featured the FSF-Europe (issue 24) and the EFF (next issue).

So anyone need help - with Free Software, that is ;-) - contact me off-list

- Richard
