I have a philosophical question, to add to David's rather more practical 
one.

Our mission is "software for the public good". Whimsy is software for 
the ASF's good. How does the public benefit from Whimsy? I can't imagine 
a development path that would result in a release of Whimsy that anyone 
outside of the ASF could derive any benefit from.
