Sounds very ok :-)

In addition, if no-one else has done it already, over the weekend I'm
going to delete documentation of the deprecated methods (Seq::ary()
etc).

I wrote an email to info@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov asking for a pointer to
documentation of viewer.cgi mentioned by Lewis Geer, but no response
yet. So, it might be that XML support is not in a productive state yet.
Hmm.

Sounds good. Just updated the task list. We're doing okay I think. There
may not be many greens, but there are some other colors than only red.
In a sense we're behind schedule, but given the fact that this is a
volunteer-only game and most of us appear to be heavily involved in
their primary jobs, I'm not worried as long as the table keeps changing
(and a red-shift is by definition excluded :-) If we hadn't Jason on
board, things would look significantly worse. He's been the driving
force code-wise so far.
