  Wow, thanks for doing this research. This might be a touch long,
course maybe that's a good idea, my announcements are pretty boring...
Some of the tasks the interns were planning on got dropped, so now the
focus is primarily on getting a win32 (and hopefully osx) plugin to work
as an easily installable package. I'll get back to you as the release
process goes along as I think of any other changes.

  Still looking for a developer that wants to do this for the money that
was raised... Deliverable criteria for this task would be up to me, but
should be reasonably well documented in old emails to this list. My
assumption is it'll take several weeks full-time to do this research
with enough attention to the little details.
