Yes, definitely welcome back. Unfortunately, I've been unable to really do much lately either and this isn't likely to change much for a couple more months.

Right now we're working on 1.1, which just consists of an XML-RPC API and some internationalization fixes. The XML-RPC API is in scratchpad and Kurt has been working on it lately, after I wrote the initial code. James still has an open patch for the UTF-8 pieces. Helping James make sure things are fully UTF-8 to the lowest levels is something that would be valuable.

Gianugo and Jan are working on WebDAV and there is code in scratchpad for this too. Overall the list of tasks I have is here http://www.xindice.org/
papers/tasks.html. The obvious place where we could really use your help is still transactions, but I also think full text indexing would be very helpful. Did the code you already had for this get left behind with the company? Anyway, work on whatever you want of course, these are just the things that I see your abilities being most valuable for. Let me know what tasks you'd like to "own" and I'll update the list. Also let me know if there is anything you want to add.

a quick summary of what's broken and what we want added to the system?
