When being addressed personally Jerome will do fine.

When in my role a coder/bug finder wiz is also
appropriate.

I have addressed this with a revised cs. Now uploaded
to the 
Mantis bug report
http://bugs.impara.de/view.php?id=504.

See the explanation there. I think you'll find it
publishable now.

The project is for the older dgd version of 3.9.
What's needed is the cs.  PopupThumbnails is a
work-in-progress not yet finalized for publication.  

Let me get a revised cs to you for TargetSigther.  I
can revert to the crosshair cursor instead of the
special targetsight cursor. that should eliminate a
lot of the cross territory stuff. I'll have to look at
the ST80 menu stuff. I'll have to find who owns that
first.

Stef and Marcus liked this and it was self-contained
enough to get included.

Please do remove the oneMoreVertex, oneLessVertex
routines.  With the skip star code they are pretty
much unnecessary and can lead to frustrating confusion
if used. I believe I did remove them from all senders.
So the risk is minimal but they have no need to be
present.

Kaleido is a wow 'em play-with-me I hope to see in the
3.9full at some point. As you say optional.

The shift-view key function now provides a vocabulary
menu for the morph. Shift tile also would be a viable
spot for this function and hasn't been taken yet. Lets
claim that then negotiate.

YES. That is the best part to change the old version
was really buggy.

I will ask them to sign off or find a better fix.

Thanks. I appreciate working with someone who is as
good as his word on feedback. And thanks for your
caring and commitment. It inspires effort on the part
of others.
