The place of jurisdiction is the home town of the author.

You are using the software and the included documentation on your own risk.

Every user is able to take an active part in the development of this software. A wishlist for future program features and a page to announce discovered bugs can be found at the forum of the project's web site.

In addition you are invited to contribute by writing translations, add your own plug-ins or skins. This manual provides help on completing the first steps. For further questions and discussions with other users you may use the internet forum at any time.

If you don't have the possibility to take part in the project directly, please consider donating to the project. Server and traffic are expensive, as well as literature and hardware - not the mention the effort put in the work on this software. The project's web site explains several ways how to make your donation.
