[Cuis-dev] Just wanted to thank everyone for their contributions and hard work…

[Nicola Mingotti]

Hi Mark !

nice to have you with us, i am typing from phone so i will be telegraphic.

. github, needed, i learnt it just for Cuis as well ;) it is worth.

. books, be supercarefull, if they are not specifically targeted at Cuis
don't copy code, nothing for graphics in particular.

. cool we have one more who can see the typos, and bad English, many of us
are not native ;) (e.g. me)

. as a developer, read well the Terse Guide, there is a lot of stuff there

 bye
Nicola
