Hi. You should know that many young, inexperienced programmers want to
do ambitious things but aren't ready for it, that is, they need lots
of hand-holding. And also, typically, unfortunately, they flake out; that
is they don't finish; the work proves too hard for the momentary enthusiasm.
So people ignore them. Your current interaction
with the list makes you look like this. If you're a capable programmer
you can figure the code out yourself. And if you're just working toward being
a capable programmer, well, working at figuring the code out will be good
experience, a working programmer will spend a lot of his time figuring out
code that's new to him anyway. But the thing is, the player/stage/gazebo devs
are roboticists, interested in robots, the code is just a tool, so spending
time helping someone with the code as opposed to robotics is very secondary.

Your idea of a modeller probably isn't bad, but then, it's pretty
self-contained.
So just do it; all the information, the files are there. If you
contribute something
without hand-holding, they may be more inclined to give you some time, should
you need it at that later date.
