Having more people chip in does make it exciting. :)
How are you planning to work on this? Is your sit-down an offline or
online thing? If it's an offline thing, I wouldn't want to impede on
your sprint, but I'd love to play with your work afterwards.

Do mind that it's C# code, though intended to be portable through Mono.
It was a school project, and C# and Windows were traits that came with
the project. But my primary platform has always been an Ubuntu desktop.

I'll see about documenting the code this evening.

Just logged on as stephank, and will be lurking in #xkcd. (Will try not
to break up this thread and take it off list though, seems only polite.) :)
