    You've been very active, and done a lot of excellent work, both
from my direct experience, and from those patches I have reviewed so
far.  Often aspiring MOTU are encouraged to complete a full
development cycle before applcation, although this isn't a firm rule.
In the few months you've been involved with the project, I'm sure
you've heard stories or read documentaiton on appropriate processes
for each phase of the development cycle.  Would you mind sharing your
view on the different phases of the cycle, and what sort of work MOTU
should target in each phase?
