Neat.

Matthew mentioned (elsewhere) that he might work on the Pika object
representations.   He might wind up meeting you half-way.   (He's
interested in working on way too much stuff, though :-) -- and on the
other hand he's surprisingly fast.)

Basically, I'm trying to let you get your pick of the litter.   You
can tell me what you'd rather have someone else do or where it would
be helpful to have someone else working in parallel.   My time is
annoyingly split between Pika and arch so I wind up being the
bottleneck if I'm not careful.
