Bob,

Honestly the first thing that caught my eye was that you were in Chapel
Hill.  I grew up in Durham NC.  I'm in Tacoma WA now.

I'm a disabled vet who got into computers and programming from an
accounting career.  Most of what I've done has been database oriented. I
started playing with Python a few years ago and just enjoy the language
and would like to find some practical application to use it with.

I'm more of a consumer than producer on the tutor list.  I read a lot,
mostly technical stuff, but nothing that complex.  I took a peek at the
889 manual for Pipelines from the wiki page you linked to.  It seems to
assume a LOT of knowledge I don't have so I'm not sure I'm suitable at
all for the project.

Let me know if you want to know more.


  
  
Bob,

Your project looks interesting but I wonder what kind of help you're
looking for. 
  


Depends on your knowledge of Python and (if any) CMS Pipelines.

Testing
Design critique (devil's advocate)
Cleaning up and fine-tuning the parser
Coding built-in stages
Documentation
Financial support

Let me know what sparks your interest. And say a bit about your
background and why this interests you.
