Hey all, Allan here, I've been in full on lurk mode for most of the last quarter as I was a bit overloaded. I'm back online now and ready to lend a hand. One thing I can do is talk to EE advising about what level of obnoxious I can be at the EE mailing lists about this. I might also be able to rustle up some recruits from my embedded programming class...
