I'm happy to do 'own' doing the readme and what testing I can, which is
pretty much just here on a WinXP system and my fiance's system with Win9x.
As you say, hopefully the only new problems will be installer ones, anyway.
I would like it to be from the 1.0 branch, since that seems relatively
stable, rather than the main one, in which I made lots of interface
improvements that probably few people have tried.  I can't see any reason
why the Outlook2000 directory couldn't be from cvs main and the rest from
the 1.0 branch.

Unless someone else steps up, then I'm willing to do this (I'll have more
time over the summer to answer support email anyway).  However, I'm kinda
away from next week, and completely (i.e. no computer access at all) away
from 01/11 to 14/11 (wedding, honeymoon :), so if I'm 'owning' it, it
wouldn't be good to do it before I get back.

If you do an Outlook-only binary, would it still be the new
py2exe-everything-in-a-zip style one?
