Yes, that has been a problem. I used to be able to do it from work  
while waiting for test runs - but I am now behind the most  
restrictive firewall I know. I can access web sites, but not cvs. So  
I need to remember to commit when I get home.

What I could use now is somebody to help me prioritize the patches  
offered; evaluating them to see if they comply with the project  
standards at the least, and determine which ones would help the most  
people. Any volunteers?
