Hello,
Thank you for touch this subject.
I am waiting for sponsor from a few months, so far without success. I am
reading mailing list, I am working on my project requested as feature
request for make it better to review. I tried to help in one or two
bugs. What else can I do?
Thank you in advance for advise.
Best regards.
