I'm likewise filled with great pleasure to hear this!

I've noticed that you already forked a repository on Bitbucket.

Here are the next steps:

  1. push your code to your public repository

  2. notify us and wait for comments

  3. fix missing things or things that need to be corrected.
     go back to (2) as necessary.

After that I'll pull your changes into -dev from where they
will eventually make their way into -stable.

I like your attitude. Now there's one thing that would be suitable
for immediate work and will provide great gains, and that is the
view system rework.

You can find a lot on this topic by searching the discussion archive
for 'views'. In short there are two big problems:

  1. Views and widgets share a common problem domain but are quite
     separate right now. The limited view DSL is nice for a lot of
     purposes but often you need to fully replace it with a widget
     or resort to ugly hacks to get the flexibility you need.

  2. Views (and presentations, and parsers) are singletons. This
     makes it difficult to dynamically configure views per-request
     and even per-session.

Both of these problems can be tackled at once by implementing views
via widgets. Jan Rychter and Saikat Chakrabarti had some interesting
ideas.

In fact some of the work has already been done by Saikat.

You can find it here:
