Although I haven't yet contributed to the project by sending any 
pull requests I am interested in doing so. Perhaps the main thing 
that keeps holding me back is I feel it is hard to know what 
currently is being worked on with the current setup (i.e. who is 
doing what, will my efforts duplicate someone else's, will I be 
stepping on anyone's toes, will my solution idea be incompatible 
with the direction in which the language is moving). I frequent 
the forums and still find it hard to get an overall picture. This 
is probably my lack of not trying hard enough (e.g. I never have 
time to spend on IRC). I saw the Trello board before and I felt 
that it helped me get up to speed on who is doing what, what is 
being worked on, etc. If you brought it, or something like it, 
back that would be appreciated.

Sorry to change the subject but one thing that keeps discouraging 
me from trying to contribute code changes is the large number of 
unmerged pull requests in GitHub. Since I am not a reviewer I am 
afraid that any effort I perform will get ignored and so I hold 
back since I have other stuff to do too. I know that this is 
something that concerns you a lot from reading other forums 
discussions so I apologize if this sounds like a complaint. I 
appreciate the work of all involved and know that no one has 
infinite time or energy. Not even sure if I could contribute to 
the code-base but would be nice to try.

Managing a project is never easy. My hat's off to you and Walter 
for your efforts in that regard.
