Thanks for the link; I've been out of touch with his writing for some time. It's good to be reminded.

As for help, I'm going to need much of it once things materialize. It's going to be free (as in freedom) software, and contributions will be essential; but I don't intend to release anything until the initial architecture is settled and I have a working, dogfoodable version 0.1. And if I fail to create the necessary living conditions for focusing on the project, that can take a while.

I hope you don't mind me contacting you when that celebrated time comes. And if anyone is interested in updates or would like to discuss related matters, feel free to say hello at the email at the address in my profile. (Some folks already have; thank you.)
