Thanks Dave, nice to meet ya mate, you busy today ? Can you start by telling me why JODE the java compiler was created , what it does ? Who manages it , how can I get involved in its evolution if indeed it needs it.. My name is Jode see and I think my dada had something to do with its creation… I have a hunch I need to know as much as possible… I need to learn slowly though.. I talk at a zillion miles an hour but I read like a snail…
