Actualy there is one area I need help: DTD for Course, Program and all other 
parts of CMFSyllabus. Since I'm not very strong at that (DTD) and my time is 
limited having DTD would be a good start to get XML import/export going. 
If somebody can provide DTD it would make my task on creating XML 
import/export or even XML storage way easier. After doing XML imports/exports 
I think it'd be a good thing to start doing XSLT transformations for display 
and together with archiving function we can achieve consistency in look 
despite migrations etc (each version would provide then it's own DTD/XSLT so 
if we change DTD we are still capable of displaying archived entries). In 
addition having PDF transformation as an option would be just a killer.

I think I'm going to get back to CMFSyllabus development in a couple of weeks 
so there is a time to think over all possibilities, and wether it's good or 
bad CMFSyllabus is still at alfa level so I can change lots of things inside 
without insulting somebody :)

So how do you feel about it? Do you have enough spare time to spend on 
this? ;)
