Interested in development

Hi,

I have found nprof very useful in my project and feel I could help out a
little to make it a more complete profiler. It would fill in a very
important void - it's quite surprising there isn't a good free .NET 
profiler around. 

Does there exist a TODO list/Roadmap already?

Some features I sorely missed:
  - starting and stopping the profiler at any time while the prgram is
    running. 
  - the profiler (while profiling my fully C# based simulator) was very
    very slow to run the program. Would like to know if it would be
    useful to tune some parameters and tradeoff profiling accuracy with 
    running time.
  - *save* a profiler run. this is a must. I had to take screenshots to
    save my output. :-)
  - Back/Forward facility when one 'double-clicks' on the
    _lvFunctionInfo list items. That is, when I see details of a
   function and its children, I go down and keep on double-clicking on
   the children to find more information - however, there is no way to
   return back! So I have to remember which function I started with.
   
Let me know what you guys think.

However, I am quite new to developing Windows based applications. (but,
am an experienced programmer.) In particular, I was having a little hard
time getting some GUI enhancements to work with the current 0.8b-alpha
version of nprof. It'd be great if there were a small tutorial to help
in this regard. Also, it's just a little bit hard to follow the code
since the "overall picture" kinda of documentation doesn't exist.
