Thanks for being a good press agent.

Yes, a big round of applause for Hans. He's been plugging away at 
this for, what, about 3 years now, sometimes without any 
indication that Xconq had any players. If he hadn't got it to the 
state that I rediscovered it in a little over 5 months ago, I very 
much doubt that I would have joined the project....

We're working on it. I've done 4 CVS checkins in the past 24 
hours, and plan on a few more for today. Hans has also done a few. 
Jim did some documentation additions last week (aside from the 
one he mentioned to the list). I think Peter is also out there, 
perhaps brewing up something big....

I too want to see 7.5 get released soon (but not before it is 
ready), so that I can work on more glamorous aspects of the game 
system.

   Eric
