I'm not a coder, but would love to be one. I love opensource stuff... It's absolutely great.

I have been using Postnuke and PostTep, an old Postnuke module of OSC that is not being developed anymore.

I love the features in both PostTep(OSC) and Postnuke. What makes me very sad :cry: is when I go look at all the contributions on the OSC site that will not work on PostTep(OSC).

As I'm not a coder... who am I to ask to make this right. I know that all devs involved in both projects work very hard and have to focus on their mission or things get messy and die.

The point I want to get to is this.. We all have things that we do for nothing in return. The hardest is being asked to do it more... and by someone who has done non of it(ie. ME). I know that feeling all to well, but I also believe in the line, "No pain, no gain" and I reckon the more the pain, the more the gain.

OK... so if mankind is ever going to unite who's going to do the pain stuff. Postnukers or OSCers? (I'll do beta testing for sure)

Could there not be a window of oppertunity, when OSC dev stops to give some postnukers time to pnAPI it. At the end of that deadline the OSC dev can either continue where they left off or make a seemless jump to  the new OSC pnAPIed version.

Sorry if this doesn't make sence. Probably why I don't code.
