[OOTB-hive] Farewell/Sharing what we've done

[Heiko Robert]

Hi Ian,

thanks a lot for sharing your work with the OOTB!!

What a pitty to loose a community member like you ...

Since you already gave me a look into parts of your customizations in 
the past I'm willing to translate/transform/refactor it in a way that no 
EE code dependancy or berkeley specific implementation will be left 
before sharing the code with the rest of the world. As the contributor 
you should define the license under which your work should be shared 
((L)GPL, Apache or BSD).

Could you please add my email to the box share (I was not able to 
request access)?

Thanks again & all the best!

hi-ko
