[elephant-devel] Issues adding to root

[Ian Eslick]

Hi Glen,

How are things going on the skiplist hack and CFFI?  I'm going to  
release an Alpha of 1.0 shortly and am starting to think about what  
goes into a beta release...  Are you likely to have any time to  
contribute in the next few months?  Thanks again for the documentation  
help last year.

Thanks!
Ian
