well, i'm a constantly busy person, but i usually get work done on the
weekends and some times during the week. of course, anyone is free to
look at my code at http://mike911.clark.net/~gnomecvs/ - not that there
really is that much at this point. i'm probably going to place it under
the artistic license until it gets further along. i'll put in gnomecvs
soon, as well.

the new gbook code is structered this way, and very cleanly at that.
i'll do the gnome fe. the rest is left for everyone else.
