I'll start working on the items that you assigned to me, although I do 
have a few reservations about the "doling out tasks" methodology. 
Perhaps simply publishing a "proposed tasks" list and then letting 
Andreas, Martijn, myself, or anyone else who wants to contribute take on 
those tasks as they have time to do so might be a better approach?  I 
want to make sure that the fun of working on an open source project 
isn't replaced by the oppressiveness of having a manager making sure I'm 
getting "my" work done.  In addition, I tend to work on this project 
when I have free time, and that varies wildly.

I know a lot of projects use a wiki to publish lists of proposed 
changes, and that then allows someone to "sign up" to be the owner of 
that change, with other people able to contribute.  We have the JIRA 
tracker which could provide the same functionality, so maybe creating 
"tasks" in JIRA and allowing Andreas, myself, or someone else to "own" 
that task would be an easier way to handle this?  Or not, I'm a bit 
sleep deprived right now and may not be making much sense ;)

Cheers,

Ryan
