Re: I really like Ioke. How can I help?

Hey Brian,

Oh yeah, another thing - whlie playing with it, you'll probably find
bugs and things missing - don't forget to report those!

There is a recurrent problem I couldn't pin down just yet, but there
seems to be something funny when you interpolate many things in a
string. Sloppy coding when dealing with lists, sets and dicts will
probably lead to some interesting finds, as well (I guess Ola just
isn't as creative coming up with some failing tests as a drunk messing
in iik :)

Or could you maybe come up with a code coverage tool?
A mocking tool?
A synthesis clone?
A set of macros that makes Ioke understand the Graphviz language[1]?
A kick-ass vizualisation of the codebase?
Some way of safely running other stranger's code?
A cucumber-like test runner?
Couple of blog posts?

Cheers, and have fun!
