Yeah, I'll do this once we've merged the URI to trunk and released 0.4.

A DDJ article *would* help ;) The blog at blogspot has way too much spam in
the comments, making it ineffective because we can't get feedback. If you
feel like adding a new post describing progress, you should do so. More
community exposure is necessary for progress. Also there is an ohloh
account:
