-Mmh shall be considered as an inspiration for the future development of nmh.
-It shall identify weak parts of nmh and suggest possible
-improvements by change.

-By all means, my work on mmh shall improve nmh somehow.
-Improving nmh directly in the way I wanted was impossible

-The mmh project is my way to offer my gifts though.

+While I worked on mmh, nmh's community became very active as well.
+Although we both worked on the same code base, there was no collaberation.
+This, I must admit, was my failure because I kept my work hidden
+from the nmh community.
+The reasons are personal and community-related.
+I am sorry for that and I like to improve in the future.
+Nonetheless, my work was in the public of the regional computer community.

-Although some changes are common among both projects,
