I'd love to volunteer.
Right now I have a lot of free time.
I've been poking around a lot with Plua,
PocketC, and Forth on the Palm, and some simple
metrowerk's C applications as well as RsrcEdit on the Palm.

I'm new to Lua and the Palm (Perl, Python, C experience)
so I'm ready and willing to take some subordinate position
involving certain coding tasks, testing, documentation, etc...

Dragon Forth directly exposes the underlying all the low-level
Palm API functions. This might be too low-level for Lua (?)
but it would make it easier to build functionality on....like with Plua
it's not exactly obvious how to extract all the to do list items
for a given category.

API functions like PocketC's for memos
(Palm OS's makeshift file system) , DOC files ,
and To Do list entries would also be useful.

Could you point me to the source of the GCC tools you're
using?

Cheers,
