Well, the meeting was a partial success. He was quite willing to let
me do this, but the legal department wants to know what specific parts
of the code I would be working on. I've tried to explain that this
would probably be difficult if I were to contribute code for the core
(which I'd like to do once things get started on 2.0). So, it'd really
be helpful if someone could send something (probably personally)
describing how development generally works during non-code freeze
times.  Are programmer duties generally partitioned neatly, or is it
more of a free-for-all? Thanks!

I've also asked about libap stuff specifically and am awaiting a
response.
