　 Hello.

Apologies for writing in english, my Spanish is not very good. My name is Tim Macpherson & I live in London.

English is perfect.

I'm interested in contributing to the Kune project. I have been programming on & off for around 20 years, mainly in C++ for scientific applications. I have recently become interested in web progamming with Java & GWT.

Great.

I'm interested in Kune because it is open source & it is socially useful. I have downloaded the source code and am currently studying it. I would hope to contribute useful code fairly quickly. Meanwhile, if help is needed with English translation, I would be glad to assist.

Thank you indeed. Our (specially my) English is far from good, so it's a big help...

I use a Windows 7 PC (AMD quad, 3.2GHz) with broadband speed around 5 Mbs.

Our Windows documentation (INSTALL & DEV-GUIDE) is very outdated because it's a environment we don't use. So help there, very welcome also. Also testing and patching in that environment (or simply to send feedback of how kune looks like there can be useful).

Currently, my other tekky interests include 3D realtime graphics, low-cost 3D scanning (especially "Kinfu", the open source version of Microsoft's "Kinect Fusion") along with 3D printing.

8) Maybe you can joing 3D with GWT in the short term: code.google.com/p/quake2-gwt-port/ www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhMN0wlITLk

Other relevant interests include politics, spanish / jazz guitar and Spanish language learning.

Niiiice...

I hope to hear from you soon.

Regards Tim Macpherson Ph.D.
