What needs to be done? If it's just a matter of putting some already 
written "hard" stuff together, then I might be up for that. I just 
don't have time to write an entire backend.

If it's a question of source control resources, I definitely have the 
bandwidth to set up either a Subversion or CVS repository, and work 
could go on in there. My upload bandwidth is entirely uncapped (no 
limit), but I'm stuck at 70 KB/sec, approximately. Those kinds of 
resources are easy to set up, so I'd be happy to do it.

Once we have that, there are a few good uses I'm sure I can put it to.
