Yes, it was written against the exact same version of Forrest as the 
Glossary plugin. So you should have no real problems.

Now you know how to put a plugin together, yes, they are similar, but 
not at all the same.

WooHoo!!!!

Someone able to pick up the pieces left by people who move to fast to 
finish what they started (that'll include me by the way!)

One other thing that would be really useful is the modifications to the 
COAT theme [1]. If I remember correctly you are pretty smart with CSS so 
maybe you would like to tackle this, it involves some tidying up of 
dispatcher contracts as well judging by the description of changes.

In terms of "more important", the items on the 0.8 roadmap [2] are 
always important.

However, it is important that you choose stuff that you *want* to do. 
All this is great for the project and we need to get it done before we 
can release, but we don't want you burning out on us - you have to have 
some fun - so pick and choose what you want to do.
