I'm glad he not only takes the time to build the RPM's but announce them as well. I'm also a KDE fan but use numerous Gnome apps (Mozilla, Evolution, Gaim, etc) and his builds have helped to stabilize my installation of not just the apps but SuSE itself. I look forward to his announcements...I'm a huge fan of SuSE but they're very slow about app updates (I know, it's not like they aren't busy enough as it is.)

I'm with Zach here. Thank you James for everything. And I'd love it if other people making SuSE rpms would post about them. This list really helps enhance my SuSE Linux experience, not just by learning about when things don't work (although that is a Good Thing), but by learning when special things are available. I would never have known about James's work without this list, and I would definitely be the poorer for it. James has contributed directly to my happiness and productivity in using Linux because his versions of Evo and Moz are what I work with every day.
