ok, thanks. I think I'll prepare a preview release sometime next week to get a 
few more testers.

Three questions already, trying to narrow this down:
1) This is variables in globalenv(), only? I.e. the other (package) 
environment show up correctly (if "Show all environments" is checked)?
2) Do you get commandline completion (console/script editor) for objects in 
globalenv()?
3) You mention, it's been there for a long time. Any idea, when precisely it 
first turned up?

Sounds like a good idea. We're using MediaWiki. Does anybody know how to 
integrate captchas, here, or - better yet - volunteer to look into 
integrating them?

[mailing list spam / subscriber only posting]

I'll wait a few more days (lets say until Wednesday) to see if there are 
objections / better ideas than this. If nothing comes up, I'll restrict 
posting to subscribers, as mentioned, and turn you into a "moderator". The 
procedure will be: For each message that is not let through to the list, you 
will get a mail notification. This will have a link to the web-interface for 
accepting/rejecting the mail. Whenever you receive such a notification and 
have the time, just follow that link, and do whichever is appropriate. I'll 
be doing the same (and hoping for a few more volunteers), so most of the time 
somebody will likely be able to attend to those messages relatively quickly. 
I'll drop you a note on Wednesday.

Regards
Thomas
