I got a comment from Lucian on my post about the werewolf video on YouTube. I felt my response would interest enough people that it was worth blogging about.

Update: pabs is back on the net and ready to read the backlog and then start helping again

As an open source project, synfig is relatively young. As a result, it has lots of creases that need to be ironed out. The copyright is sorted, the code compiles fine, but there are warts when running the code. To smooth out those warts, we need people do investigate and fix the following. We cannot do everthing ourselves, WE NEED YOUR HELP!!

I just wanted to let everyone know that I've been very busy lately with work and other things, so some of my personal projects and tasks (Like going through my inbox) are getting a bit neglected. My hope is to sort all of that out over the weekend. I haven't forgotten.

An interview I did about Synfig with Eugenia Loli-Queru was just posted on osnews.com. Worth a read.
