Hi everyone!
First of all, so sorry that I've been away for quite some time. Not only I've been very busy with work stuff, but all the time that I had to dedicate to Moby in the last few months was spent talking to Reed and Simon about becoming a part-time coder and trying to install a local version of the site on my machine to take a look at everything.
After a somewhat painful process, we finally managed to get it working and I'm now able to change and test things. We're now discussing the exact format of my collaboration but pretty soon I should start dedicating some hours, every month, to work on Moby. Simple things at first, not only because I still need to learn my way around, but mostly to prevent me from breaking something in the database.
Please be patient, keep those suggestions and bugs coming in, and at least some of those will be taken care over time. Whenever an important change or addition goes into the pipeline we'll request your opinion, so keep an eye on the forums.
Also, keep your expectations low (ok, I know they're pretty low already), because my availability varies and diving into all this code is quite challenging for someone who had no prior contact with it.
Thanks!

Hm, this just reminds me that me missed the first-year anniversary of awesomeness.

This means I'm technically Nelio's intern now. :p finishes up bug reports

Excellent. I'm encouraged by the fact that you've looked at the code and evidently haven't turned to stone yet.

Thanks again to Nelio for this! We're still working out how much can be done, but first code should be committed soon and we'll take it from there!
