Hi,

afaik, Ed and Christophe have cooperated and exchanged ideas for some time.
However, I don't think Ed will publish them, even if they are used in Rebel.

Some of Eds ideas are also used by Gromit (details differ, but the
general idea is the same), but some others are interesting and I'll try
them. So I really appreciate his effort and don't feel bad about it.
