Ian, Glad to hear you are open to help. I am eager to do so. :-) I can handle the details of getting the svn up for you and I can look into the changes you made and see if I can get them rolled into the official sword repo as well as the clucene repo. This will give me a chance to get familiar with your code base. Just let me know, and if so make sure I have access to your absolute the latest source tree.
I understand the pressures of being a student, I recently graduated with a B.S. In C.S. and have not forgotten how life and free time tends to ebb and flow around midterms and finals. I myself am married with 5 kids and work full time so my spare time to work on Sword related items comes and goes as well. As far as development is concerned, I imagine you have some idea of how you want the flow of the UI and features to be implemented and I do not want to step on your toes there, so at some point after I get these items taken care of (assuming you want me to do those things) we should try to meet up a few times in #sword and chat about your vision for the software.
