I do have about 30 projects of my own in development, so I would love the opportunity to be part of a new project. I have a reasonable understanding of CVS, as I run my own server for my own development, so I say go for it. I will put in as much time as I can toward development on this project, and I will have the opportunity to learn what it is like to finally put in to a 'team' project. Just let me know when and with what I can help.
