A packet buffer acts as a storage area. You add stuff to it a little at a time, then when you've assembled the complete packet within the buffer, you send it.

Yes, you can't have everybody...contributing to the main source repository.  That would be stupid and create chaos.

Opensource projects...would be dumb.

I wrote a small tutorial on it.

It is kinda ghetto and incomplete, but it explains how to use DM's packet buffer class (VB) and basically how to read the packet that b.net sends you.

BTW, it seems like clear() in that will leak memory after you've added things to the buffer.
