+1000 from us too.
We have a couple of short-term hacks to do on the 2.4 branch to meet a short term deadline and get Ben familiar with the test-cases I've been setting up. Migrating these test case to trunk is the first step, then backfilling the functionality to make them work. Its been a bit opaque the progress on the trunk since I havent had cycles to get into the code to see how far its got, but what I'd like to do would be to agree a mutual plan, with the goals you describe, so Ben's input is maximised. It would be great if the skeleton of the plan came from the trunk developers, identifying where your needs are greatest, we'll identify test cases for end-to-end functionality and work backwards until the plans meet.

Better try to work on an eventually less ambitious plan, but make whatever you do solid enough to live in trunk and be useful for a release.
