OK folks, I just signed my CLA and It'd be great to get 'commit' status.
>From my recent look at the code there seems to be a few
bits that need tidying up a little before it comes out
of scratchpad. I agree with what Andy says about documentation
and unit tests. I'd also like to see some simple 'get you
started' code examples showing how to do stuff that people
have been asking about on the users' list...
... ah, did I just volunteer to do something again? Looks
like it :)
I think it would all be a lot stronger for waiting a while
and then moving it out - I'd certailnly feel more comfortable
about it if we could!
Best regards,
Piers

-1 to moving the word stuff out of scratchpad. I am not against it in
principle just practicality.
It needs a new steward who is a committer to this project with signed CLA.
It needs at least some basic documentation and reasonable unit tests. If
those guidelines aren't kept it will never happen.
Once those are satisfied, I remove my objection.
