that's probably the best idea since i am running low on time to put toward
this. I'm not sure what we need to do to start a branch in git. also, the
code i'm working with is not on the latest version of rails, so a merge into
the existing code base will be needed.

if someone could branch the trunk, I can start to merge my changes into it,
then check in my changes so others can help out.
