No one right now but one of the interns has expressed interest.  He's 
already helped me get the client running on Debian and Ubuntu.  The 
ratings system was the next thing.  Jcollie had a prototype for the 
client IIRC as well.  If you are interested or no someone who's 
interested let me know.  Its just been a matter of not having enough 
time for me to get it in.
