well, this project involves several people who are not so good with
software building software.  i am already feeling discouraged from
committing my work, as i know there are people who get a steady stream
of my mistakes and such.  

more than that, my trail is already terrible and full of mistakes and
such.  this hand edited Changelog helped me some.  at least i know what
the goal is.  but if such a thing existed, i guess i would have to find
a project to practice on, so i could get that log right.

please reconsider your love of this log.  my real name is on it, so give
me some sympathy.  please?
