Hi. I have been thinking about contributing to this project for a while
now, and this seems like a relatively painless place to start. I hacked
out enough of the functionality last night to get a feel for what needs
to be done. So, I guess you have a "taker" if you can tolerate yet
another developer ;) Do you need any particular information from me?

Obviously I am mostly clueless about what your processes are and how
you like to do things. Is there anything written up? Or is it more a 
matter of just feeling your way through until you figure things out?
