Ivan, if you want to do it, you know I'll help out. I agree it probably
wouldn't be too hard. The back-end is a bit of a piffle.

Yeah, I did a bunch of Puthon on my last contract (much to my chagrin).
Why they wanted to pay _me_ to write Python when there plenty of
front-end needs to address was mystifying. But hey, it's all good. :)
And I didn't half-mind Python after I spent about a week getting up to
speed with it (see what I mean about mystifying?) Hey, I told them; but
the customer is always right.

I didn't figure there would be much clamoring about the back-end. But
whatever people want to do. Here are some other areas where I would
like contributions:-

1. A logo (the one thing I don't do is artwork).
2. Anything to do with documentation would be great. Though I realize
that most of that is on me at the moment as there aren't enough people
deeply into it yet.
3. Testing and bug reporting (there are definitely bugs, perhaps even
some I don't know about). Also, writing unit tests (those are very easy
to do--see the test page).
4. Forum participation--need to demonstrate that there is a burgeoning
community to generate adoption momentum. Post examples of what you are
working on...

At the risk of having no sense of humor, RMS is a common abbreviation
for Richard Matthew Stallman, founder of the GNU project and all-
around FOSS (free, open-source-software) fanatic.

No worries, Thomas; I don't know him from Richard Dean Anderson. :)

Yes, sure, but I don't have time until middle of April. If people show
some interest, I can to it then.

I agree. But maybe there are use cases where people would find it
useful.
