I noticed that many of the CDFs coded in gsl have inverse functions also coded, but this is not the case for the Poisson distribution (unfortunately for me). I would like to "request" these functions. I would try to contribute them myself, but I'm not confident I could code them to the standards of gsl. What are the chances of my wishes being fulfilled by another developer? thanks, Jason Detwiler
