What if we post all this stuff on mozdev.org, and maybe someone, or some
people will notice it and want to run with it?
I can do most of what is in your list there (and all with some extra free
time), but maybe there is someone out there who does have the super-skills
that really wants to work with it (I have limited time). Also, it could at
least be posted for future reference.
If you are interested, I can take care of most of the process for you.
