Assume you are the project manager.  :)  Let me hear your suggestions.

My current problem is this: I read the code, I read the specs.  I
don't know them by heart, I don't really grok them either.  I order to
do that, I need to actually code something.  There is code available
to me.  So I can either write some myself (elisp prototype) or look at yours.
To me, there is no "obvious" next step...

If I can't see the code and dabble with it, I'm not sure that a
textual description would help me actually *do* something.  How about
this: If your code uses tables, and you already have some of them but
they are not complete, send that and tell me how to fill in the rest
(or where I can read more about it).

Who knows?  All I know is that today, I didn't do anything.
