[Chris Oliver <excid3@xxxxxxxxx>]

Feel free to hit me up by email or IRC and I'll help out where possible.
Can't code or review code (I am stuck in Ruby/Rails mode right now and can
barely Python my way out of a brown paper bag) but I'd be happy to help
mentor anyone in my free time.

Keep up the great work guys! I'm really excited about 1.0. :D
