I can go ahead and start working on data migration - is this just the stuff 
you described under the "data paths" header?  For now, I can at least look at 
how the configs are being handled.

The one installation thing I should probably work on is the RPM packages for 
Linux distros, since my computer is still set up to do the builds.  But I can 
probably work on that when we get closer to a release.

If you think more bugfixes would be more helpful than data migration, let me 
know.

I'm sorry I didn't make that very clear.  I am supposed to average 12 hours 
per week on the project.  There was some miscommunication between me and the 
professor at the beginning of the semester, so I got a late start, which 
means I will have to make up for the time.  Fall break is when I will have a 
good chance to get started on catching up.  However, I will also be working 
on it every week.  Because of my other homework and commitments, I can't be 
sure which days I will have the most chance to work.  Weekends should usually 
afford me good opportunities, though.

Thanks both of you for the input!
