Initially, I would like to use all of R5 as it ships. Replacing piece by

I have had very good luck with it. But maybe that is all it is.
Since it is one piece that you seem to be interested in, can
we count you in as a team member for networking?

There are too many of us (around 20) to all work on one piece.
And so many people have different interests, I don't see how
everyone WOULD work on the same piece.

But it is a modular piece with great documentation and a reference
implementation. We don't have to start from scratch. We can take
from that which is here and there.
