Worked up?? Really?? that's what you got out of my post??? I always FAIL to understand how folks read emotions and sentiments into posts that JUST AREN'T there..

I just asked you a question because honestly in that long post you wrote I didn't see anything that looked like you had seen what I wrote.. (which is why I asked the question..) But okay.. thanks for the response..
It's open source.. which means it's OPEN to anyone who wants to volunteer to contribute.. Now if you want to make sure you're not stepping on anyone's toes you can approach it one of two ways..
- Contact the author and offer to help by implementing the suggestions you made. You guys can coordinate how you will work together..
OR
- post a message to the current author in the support thread of your desire/intent to make the changes you suggest.. Then again you guys can coordinate and decide how you will work together..
This is PRECISELY how I got started submitting updates to add-ons.. I offered publicly to help the person who was re-writing IH2 to be PHP 5.3 compatible. I offered to take on re-writing the user documents and reorganizing the installation files. It's how the current "team" of folks working on IH4 got together..
So YES you sure can do this!
I thought this was made clear in the sample instructions I posted.. Are you saying it's NOT??
Either way if you decide to contact the current author, you can work on this TOGETHER..
