Re: stop! .. time for unit tests

Hi Lukas,
good idea :-)

I intend to resume working with LiveUser this week for a community
project. As a matter of fact, LiveUser will be the most important basic
technology on this project, so I'm willing to contribute some days of
work to make it more stable and maybe more feature-complete (caching and
such). So, what about a small oss meeting? ;-)

Regards,
Matthias
