Hey Geoff,

I'm psyched that you started in the Repository Viewer.  I don't want to 
in any way discourage from going full speed ahead with it.

Jeffrey hasn't yet started in on Repository Viewer at all.  He's just at 
the stage of downloading Chandler for the first time, so we can easily 
find a completely different project for him.  There's no lack of 
available coding projects!

Cool.

Yup, but you've already got inertia going on Repository Viewer, so you 
should keep going on it as far as you care to.  For example, if you're 
into it, you could also extend the repository viewer to do simple item 
editing:
   http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Main/HelpUs#ItemEditorParcel

I just wanted to let you know that there might be someone else available 
to help out, if that seemed useful to you, and if there were any tasks 
you wanted to fork off.  And I wanted to let you know that there could 
be someone to hand off to if you eventually want to move on to other things.

Yup, there was no traffic on the dev list, and no bread crumbs on the 
wiki page.

As Chandler gets bigger, we'll start to have more and more projects, and 
more and more volunteers, so we'll want to get better organized about 
keeping track of projects and feature requests and who's doing what.

I just took the liberty of adding a one-line note with your name on the 
HelpUs page, under the Repository Viewer entry.  Feel free to update or 
remove it as you see fit.

:) Brian
