If it's acceptable that a resource (i.e. me) steps up who has a semi-full queue already, is an external contributor with some familiarity with uts/src/cmd/svc, but is certainly willing to get their hands dirty with this, then I'd kindly ask that we design on. It's this or I queue.finish() and go play in Ruby/J2EE land on Plocher's ARC project interface. And if this is a project best serviced from elsewhere, I'll just tack it on my things-to-watch-for list.
