Sure, that would be interesting to track our progress!

There's certainly a tendency for more feature creep, but as we control  
what makes it into a milestone, its not that just anybody can add new  
stuff.

I agree, there's room for improvement.

One difficulty is that the available resources are hard to plan in  
advance as everybody is working on a voluntary basis. For example, I  
couldn't do much the last three weeks due to high priority work at my  
company, Marcus is moving, etc.
