Yeah, I agree here.

There was a lot of "hype" about this project when it
initially came out.  I felt turned-off about the project
because it seemed like you already had enough
coders (better than me) to help you out.

Maybe I need to devote some time to it this summer : )

Nick - post the website we can go to for info.  Also,
tell us what work still needs to be done?  Is it the
networking?  The GUI?  Testing?  Or everything?
The more specific you are the easier it will be for someone
to get interested.
