Kresten, what exactly are you working on? I have some code locally that 
implements simple things like ORB.list_initial_services, 
string_to_object, etc. I plan to finish this up this weekend and send a 
patch.

Writing an ORB is not my day job, so I only have a few hours per week 
and I'd like to avoid duplicate work. If you Trifork guys could send 
short announcements like "we'll start working on xyz now" that would be 
cool. Maybe this could also be done via JIRA, create issues and assign 
them to yourself when you start working on them - this will give 
external contributors like myself a better view what's planned and where 
help is most useful.
