Welcome hendy and ilya!
Sam reminded me the other day that while I’ve been writing about Christopher Henderson (hendy) and Ilya Sherman (ilya) for a while now, I’ve never actually introduced them to the Camino community.
Christopher Henderson (hendy) has been hacking on Camino since this summer, when he implemented Gecko 1.9’s full content zoom feature in Camino. Christopher’s a 24 year old recent astrophysics graduate in Christchurch, New Zealand. He’s been a user of Camino since the Chimera days, and his first Cocoa project was Sid, an astronomical timekeeping utility. Since full content zoom landed back in August, Christopher’s been tackling things related to the location bar, site icons, the bookmark bar, and other miscellaneous fixes, as well as working on implementing a full-screen mode. As he’s in New Zealand, Christoper has also been getting up in the middle of the night once a week to attend our project meetings; that’s dedication!
Ilya Sherman (ilya) has been filing bugs (or commenting in them) for a couple of years now and has recently made the jump to the development team. He writes, “I’m a student at Stanford University, majoring in puzzle-solving (or something like that…). I like complicated board games, like Settlers of Catan and Arkham Horror. Juggling, too.” Ilya’s first patch to land was bouncing the downloads folder, but he jumped into Camino development by reviving the patch to enable Growl notifications for completed downloads. When not juggling, solving puzzles, or living the college life, Ilya has also found the time to work on several other download-related patches.
Please give a very big (and belated) Camino community welcome to Christopher and Ilya!

[...] Ilya asked the other day in #camino what sort of tool we used when dealing with bizarre cvs merge conflicts. After explaining my TextWrangler hunk differences routine, it occurred to me that it might be interesting to mention the tools (and some of their tricks) that I use when working on Camino and Camino-related software.
