Christian, thanks for the list.. Some of the things I was looking at ,
as in modules, look like they are in your short term list. Most of
the things I wanted to do centered around the database .
Setting gnome-db fto use other databases, even though
I mainly use MySQL is something I think I would like to
work on, along with the database format.

I was thinking about the database format, and I was thinking
a flexible formatter or compiled in modules might be better.
I know a few people who have access to stock data in SQL
format, but with a different format. I think it may be
better for gchartman if it were flexible so that a person
could run from his Oracle server at work, that has a much more
complex data structure. And adding open, high, and low to the database
fields.

I have some code for a database editor/viewer I can put
in, but that might be something to look at after the database
stuff is looked at.
