Hi, Happy New Year to all :-)
I am willing to help and think that this is a good idea. I am totally convinced that this project deserves it: @Craig, you have done an incredible job. I am a "proper" programmer and very busy too. I am using V4 for my own personal use and we have all our official company and production backups on V3. I would prefer to push V4 forward. I will help and support as best I can.
