Assume you are the project manager. :) Let me hear your suggestions.
My current problem is this: I read the code, I read the specs. I
don't know them by heart, I don't really grok them either. I order to
do that, I need to actually code something. There is code available
to me. So I can either write some myself (elisp prototype) or look at yours.
To me, there is no "obvious" next step...
If I can't see the code and dabble with it, I'm not sure that a
textual description would help me actually *do* something. How about
this: If your code uses tables, and you already have some of them but
they are not complete, send that and tell me how to fill in the rest
(or where I can read more about it).

Who knows? All I know is that today, I didn't do anything.
