Hello Slide,

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. Are there any particular 
classes you have an interest in implementing?

DateTime would be a good candidate.

At the moment I don't have much to show you what I have in mind - so I 
will be in touch again when I have done some work (hopefully soon).

I'm a bit of a code quality neurotic, and I like to be able to refactor 
with peace of mind - so I like full test coverage (TDD is the best way 
to achieve this of course). To start with I'd prefer contributions from 
patches.

All the best,

Michael
