Yet there are two things where I'd appreciate some help: - The current configure scripts and makefiles pretty much follow the old lines of BBDB v2. I'd be glad if someone familiar with the GNU conventions for such files could look over these files so that they work reliably / as expected on different platforms. - What needs to be done to actually release BBDB so that users can download the tar ball from some server? How to arrange for something like a checksum so that users can trust the tar ball? Any other comments are welcome, too.
