Hi Juanjo Thanks very much for your feedback. Just so you know, I've also submitted my proposals to the development mailing list - but so far I haven't had a single response! I was hoping to get a couple of keen developers on board who would help drive this project forward. If C were my first language, I would do it myself, but it's not.
For any developers listening: I can provide full documentation, including a high level overview, configuration instructions, testing instructions, and even actual unit tests if required.
