I don't have any comment at this point on the direction of JPL - most of
the code contributions I've made have been reactive rather than proactive.
I've been buried in some writing projects over the last year that, in
addition to my day job, tend to consume about 99% of my available cycles.

There isn't currently any steering of JPL going on right now, but it would
be good if someone wanted to start steering it in some direction.

Is there anything I can do to help you produce weekly snapshots?  This is
the sort of grunt work that I could help with.
