          Chris, yes sorry I had not replied to your earlier message. We are reviewing your IT-203 form for inclusion in the OTS package.
          Thanks!

          Hi Aston

          Hope this reaches you.

          I had emailed your yahoo account in Sept 2011 with patches for 2010 NYS IT- 203 (non-resident state form used by the nj bridge-and-tunnel crowd). Did not hear back, and took that to mean I should contact you on freecode instead of the address on the ots web page. So got my freecode login, but I still cannot see any developer discussions or details on how to submit. I'll admit I am new to this. I'm expecting that updating the NYS IT-203 will be easier than writing from scratch, so there is a good chance to get it done before Apr 17, far earlier than last year.

          Should I check in the 2010 changes on the sourceforge tracker:bugs?

          Thx
          Chris
