What do you mean with "more feedback"? Is it about the
merge proporsals?

I'm developing some small programs for my job, then I
want to have the libgnomedb with the enough
functionality to work with forms, then I would like to
help first with the merge (principaly in that area).
That is in the future may I don't need to change any
with the code becouse the API used in the application.

Why don't to merge in CVS, and work with the
improvements for the next realese; and may I can test
the API with some applications for feedback and
sugestions.
