I am interested, but my free time is limited and I'm not sure where my position would be
on the learning curve. If you would be willing to give me an example of what is involved,
I might play with it a little to see if I think it is something I could learn how to use
without too many sleepless nights. :)

If you don't want to take the time, though, that's fine too as this is not of high
importance.
