It sounds like an excellent plan to start working on the 3.0 branch! Let me 
know if you need any help, and/or when you want me to test this on the machines 
I have access too.

p.s.

Some time ago we had a discussion about amongst other things some bad 
assumptions in the generic voltage printing code. I promised to fix this, but 
its still on my todo, I will happily fix this once things stabilize (I would 
like to avoid svn commit conflicts), if you feel inclined to fix it yourself 
thats fine too, here is the important part of our previous conversation on this:
