I'd love to. I've another enhancement or two that I'd really like to
see and helping out good old gnc would be most satisfying.

Unfortunately, my old brain doesn't understand modern OO (every method
calls another object to do the work, but does none itself) any more
than it ever understood COBOL (every paragraph calls another to do all
the work).

<grin>

Seriously, though. Is there "new developer documentation" somewhere? In
the past when I've looked, I've not found sufficient to help me--and the
code doesn't easily grok in my brain. No slight intended to the code; 
someone else's code always takes time to understand. It's the overall
architecture, roles of the classes, etc. that I lack.

Anyone wanting to take me under their wing, feel free to PM me, or maybe
we move to the devel list.

Cheers.
