</div></div>Yeah, i will probably be up for this and have plenty of idea ranging<br>
from a gimp replacement to a shape oriented music creation program, or<br>
even an attempt at some games in blender or something with tutorials to<br>
help others create great looking games.<br>
There is also my server manager software which many of you will know<br>
about which needs development documentation testing etc<br>
