It has been discussed during our last meeting in Prague, we listed the different things that we think need to be fixed, but the work hasn't been done yet. The meeting report that Peter has mentioned lists the different issues that need to be fixed. So if you want to help, feel free to start with this list :) Those items are also on my TODO-list, but that one is so long that I can't guarantee when I'll be able to do it.
