-
- The MetaKit library is extending rapidly. This is possible because it is a
- rewrite of code developed earlier in a number of recent projects. I have a
- good picture of where I can be heading, because I've already been there :)
- But with YOUR input, I can do a better job of prioritizing my to-do lists.
-
- Best regards, Jean-Claude
