Well, I want to take this on. I've already implemented many of these functions, but they are not neatly implemented, and tied into my personal code at the moment. A spec should help clean things up.
I'll create a Google Doc to collaboratively sketch out aims, an API, put together requirements, and a basic plan for a team and soliciting participation. I'll curate from discussions and what I can find. Is anyone else interested? I'm looking broadly for things like: * specific functions that you think would be valuable * advice on who to talk with * any advice, generally * people who'd be willing to review the sketch API * ... I'm broadly looking for supporters, users, advisers, etc.,.
