Tom, et al.,
Giovanni is the current developer, although he is working on other
projects as well as OL so has limited time. He's also working to catch
up since he's new.
AFAIK, one of the things holding back outsourcing/crowdsourcing of OL
code is the lack of a test instance and unit tests. I feel like we
discussed this recently on this or another list... would that be a good
place to start?

Jessamyn / Sam - did anything ever come of the discussions with the IA
folks?
I noticed Giovanni (@gdamdam <https://github.com/gdamdam>) made a few
changes recently. Is he the IA developer in charge of OpenLibrary now?
