absolutely.  I've barely slept this week putting the final touches on
a grant proposal that, if funded, will support *precisely* that, it's
specific aim #1 of the proposal.

If things go well, by Jan 1 we'll have resources to tackle this
full-time, if not we'll do our best at the slower pace that we
normally work.  But it's definitely one of our highest priorities,
it's just that the combination of me being offline due to John
Hunter's illness/death, and working on three separate grants that
involve IPython, has consumed all available bandwidth for a while.

But as these grants get sent out, we'll begin clearing time for
development work again.

Cheers,
