Follow-on items (like bug >fixes, etc.) would be kept in association with the source, of course. Thank you for the suggestion - and are you also volunteering to help moderate mod.sources?!? I don't have infinite time - I am already spending more time than I like dealing with people who did not recieve articles intact over the net, or who want to retrieve something from the archives. Unless such access is automated, it is quite unreasonable to ask anyone to do this. By the way, I don't currently "evaluate" sources, except to verify that they arrived intact, and they are indeed source code.
