I think this is pretty cool. Each of us bring certain strengths and it's 
nice to see this whole thing which really is around the 10K lines actually 
come together. The functional changes between then and now are only 
somewhat visible (e.g., readline, some configure aspects,...). The 
majority of the stuff that's going on is in what the user does not see 
(e.g., all one process, *major* consolidation of code and hugely increased 
maintainability, etc...)

I've contributed to open projects before, but never at this level of 
involvement, and I'm starting to feel an inkling of what ESR must have 
felt when he did fetchmail. I really didn't think I'd learn anything new 
and that definitely was disproved. (I hope that didn't sound arrogant.) 
Now we have a small laundry list of things for 3.1 and I see this as just 
getting more fun.

It's just too bad we can't all get together for a non-virtual beer.
