Re: Just a small 'thank you' letter, from Carlos Manuel Martínez Zumaya

That's awesome :)
I remember I was in the same place many moons ago.  When I first appeared
on this scene I privately messaged Benoit to explain myself, my joy of
finding gambas, my wish to contribute somehow in appreciation of the
efforts of this free awesome IDE.

I was very much a beginner at the time and went through a process of
discovering exactly the level at which I can help.

My contribution efforts for a while were me merging bug fixes that turned
out to be in the wrong place. But through attempting to contribute and
Benoit explaining my errors my knowledge and ability to contribute has
improved greatly.

Thank you Benoit for your patience and your teachings and for all the
effort you put into gambas :)
And thank you to all the writers of the various components.

I never thought my name would go on the list of authors but i guess at the
end of the day because now some small pieces of the gambas environment code
have been actually written by me I technically am a co-author. :o
Aah the irony , I remember when i first arrived here I was quite vocal
about not wanting to be dragged into being part of some dev team.  then I
seemed to just throw myself right into it anyway ! lol

Respects to you all
Wishing well
