John,

I am taking you up on your offer of direction/simplification.  I can
tell there is a good quantity of code involved from reading the patches
and merge bundles on this list.  I haven't had time to also read the
code base, yet, but I am getting some idea of the structure.  I haven't
been able to map the structure back to the bugs in Malone/Launchpad or
the wiki the specifications for new features.

Do you have any ideas for good starter projects?  From the bug lists and
specifications I can see some things that look big and others that look
small.  I don't know which are under active development, though, and I
can't think of a great reason to duplicate effort.

Thanks,

Richard
