Yes yes yes! It's on the NextRelease page :-)

I have some code from Ignition to contribute to this - XML DOM helper with 
DOM caching, nice Date helpers, File system helpers and RSS feed rendering 
templates.

I'd really like to get these general purpose helpers out of Ignition and 
into some WM distributable that isn't core, and doesn't require a CVS 
checkout and build! i.e. WebMacroOptional.zip containing a templates/ tree 
and a webmacro-opt.jar containing the pre-built tools.

Ignition would bundle both so that the existing tools I have will be drawn 
instead from WM, and everybody who doesn't use Ignition (yep, that's 
everybody right now!) can make use of these tools too.
