I, for one, would like to look at your current code (whatever its
state).  I had some ideas about desired API features so I want to see
whether your design misses anything (and I'll contribute patches if it
does).  Yes, I understand it's unreleased/unstable/whatever; I'm still
eager to see it.  I think I'm not the only one.

I think it would be best if you make your development repository
publicly availiable - but a single snapshot would also do the trick.
