Well, it can't be a bad idea, can it? ;)

Apart from the code itself (which can be found at http://git.q42.co.uk/w/fetch2.git), I don't have any actual notes, and since I haven't had a chance to work on it for a couple of weeks I'm not 100% sure of where I was at - due to lack of time I have tended to just spend a few hours adding some missing part when I found the time but I don't actually have a TODO list or similar (though I really should).

I'm also out of town with work for the first half of the coming week ... but I'm certainly willing to talk about what I have and haven't done.

(Daniel, hope you don't mind me adding you to CC ...)
