Heya Jeffrey,

i'd like to ask you for access to the sources of the "devaway" script.

I visited that site several times in the last few days, and some "perfectionistic"
genes of mine would like it to be XML'ized to match the rest of the gentoo
webpages ;-)

Danny,

I apologize if I sound abrupt on this bug comment, I do not mean to be in the slightest. But, devaway was not meant to be some huge deal. It was meant to stop people from emailing -core/-dev about their vacations. I've had requests to make it email people upon their leaving/return, make it more dynamic, and other suggestions. It was meant just as a quick hack to do something very simple, and I have no plans on making it more complicated/feature-filled. If you'd like to hack something up, by all means. I'm just reading ~/.away in toucan in all the home directories. But at this time, I have no plans on working on mine much more.

-Jeffrey
