Yes please!

But seriously. I would really like to have code contributions. I am
very interested in putting this project on a broader community basis.
I consider PBXT to be "the community engine".

I am not sure of all the technical details though. Anyone interested
should contact me directly.

Yes, on sourceforge.net:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pbxt

Go to the Tracker menu, and then select Bugs. Here is the direct link:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?grou...50&atid=892419

Kind regards,

Paul
