Robert, the question for me is not so simple:

Differently as You, Henrik or Adrian, my work is not related to Squid or
its development: I'm a Windows System Administrator and all my Squid works
comes totally from my free time and for my personal pleasure.

In the last year I have made a very big personal effort because I'm totally
alone on the Windows port, and the Windows port is a very big project
compared to many others Squid works: the diff size is 646 KB.

Now, starting to work on squid-3, for me means to restart the work from
April of this year when the nt branch was born plus to learn C++.
I don't want to spent so much of my free time again.

Regards

Guido
