Ha. Good answer.  :-)  As the project leader for JSBSim for ten years, I know how important volunteers are. That project takes up very much time. However, Umbrello is a very interesting and important project, and I will consider helping out. It might not be soon, but I will look into this some more. 

Best regards,

Jon
