Hi Flavio!  To ths point Alexey is correct. There is more though.  Input from
Z4 on any issues that might affect them is a very needed thing.

He's right here too.

Alexey feels you have to be a current mail distributor to some 50 nets or
coding mailers/bbs software.  Fact is there is a need for folks with a deep
understanding of a zone or nodelist issues and other things.  Also a need to
make sure Z4 works with anything new.
