Cool. I will certainly PM if I decide to embark on anything big or even mid-size. And that's likely.

At the moment though, I want to help get you to RC stage for this 2.x version, so I think that just means doing bug fixes. But let me know if there is anything other than that you want help with.

To be fair, creating a patch is less worry for me than using the 'unorthodox' method. The other method means I have to copy and paste from both the existing code and the updated code in order to explain what is different. I also have to explain where the change is within the code base so you can find what I'm talking about (what file, what function, where exactly in that function). And because it is a manual process I'm more likely to make mistakes, or forget to include something. Creating a patch does this all automatically (except for the mistakes part). And it takes about 10 seconds! So the only reason I'd use the unorthodox method is if it is somehow easier for you; but I'm struggling to think how it would be.
