You are marvelous! It was very painful for me to filter out applicants for 
SoC, but you got rid of my pain of sin. :)

I think the rest is technical documentation. Could you summerize how it works 
in brief? You can use the wiki or whatever else as you wish.

BTW, are you planning to write an article about your work (e.g. osnews.com, 
free software magazine, etc.)?
