Yes, thanks from me, too, Ben (esp. since I started working on this  
and then wandered off). I've closed out those bug reports.

I'm generally unconstrained, as we're not traveling for the holidays.  
We can set up a poll to schedule a conference call once we have a  
general idea of when people can talk. I've started a poll about a  
mini-hackathon itself at http://www.doodle.com/9pndm3xaszh7gpck .

Best,
Brian
