[rtmpy-dev] Project status

[Hans-Peter Klett]

First of all, thanks for the great work you've put into this.  I'm certainl=
y aware of time issues; I've had to turn down two side projects in the last=
 couple of weeks.

I have a bit of python experience, but twisted seems like quite the learnin=
g curve.  Event driven programming is great, but takes a good bit of knowle=
dge regarding the development environment.  If you've got any bugs (or "Wor=
k Items" to borrow M$ parlance) in particular that are good starting points=
 for getting into this project, let me know.


Thanks - Hans-Peter Klett
