I'm not supposed to have (a), so it's probably better for me to stay 
away from development.  But I don't mind helping to organize things a 
little.

That's a good point -- I'd just assumed that this wasn't the case 
anymore because they'd stopped the revisions.

Soooo ... I think first what we need is a bug / feature list.  There's 
even less point in approaching Alesis (for either internal or external 
development) if we don't have this.  I'll start a new thread about that 
... keep talking about other development issues here.
