Welcome to the list and the project!

Never mind. We use the warnings for debugging. They will be disabled before 
the final release.

Yeah. We'll need to review those.

That's great! We are really looking for people who are serious about 
contributing. Not sure what you can do right now, since we are already quite 
close to a release. Would you like to translate BibleTime into Romanian? That 
would be pretty cool. Let me know and I will set up everything that you need.

Apart from that, you can look at our sourceforge project site and look for 
open bugs / tasks that you could do.

Most important, perform an intense testing on beta2 and report all bugs to the 
tracker. And, if you can, solve them. ;)

We are glad to have you on the project!

Martin
