Thanks; I'll go ahead and work on it then. Anyone knows who Jim is on
Assembla? On Google Groups his email address gets hidden by Google,
and he just signed his mails "Jim".

Probably safer not to involve him until the basic code is written, if
there is concern about the upstream code seeping in, but it'd be great
to get someone who is known to be interested in, eventually.
