And also much into 3D, isn't it? OTOH, it wouldn't hurt :). If they post
a news bit about the 0.3.3 release, there seems to be some interest at

Yeah. Should you really lack the time, I could give a hand. But I also
want to do some v0.4 plot work, and I fear my weekend will be quite busy
too.

Apropos weekend: it's IRC meeting time once more! Sunday, 15:00 GMT,
irc.openprojects.net, #adonthell. Everybody welcome!
