I've discussed this with ficus at length. We have some exciting plans
lined up.

Uh, I guess as much as anyone?

Yep. I opened nearly all of the Torouter tickets with these kinds of
discussions in mind - until Ficus had popped up, we'd had nearly no
active discussions. I think the best way to work out these issues is on
trac where we can discuss them issue by issue and keep track of the
conversations.

We've already discussed working on it together. Chill.

All the best,
