Anyone interested in joint-developing Android Smugmug Provider?

Hi everyone,
Part of my SmugDroid application is an Android content provider to Smugmug services. A content provider is a set of classes that allows an Android device to recognize URIs and, through them, access the content behind these URIs as if they are inside a database (http://code.google.com/android/devel/data/contentproviders.html).
The Smugmug content provider for Android interacts with the Smugmug server (API) allowing users of this content provider to obtain/insert/delete images, galleries, categories, templates, etc., etc.
A stand-alone Smugmug content provider will add a common abstraction layer allowing for any application running on an Android device to access Smugmug content.
Currently, the Smugmug content provider is very basic, just implementing the services needed by SmugDroid. But if we can extend the provider's functionality and make it more robust, faster, better, etc., we could make writing future Smugmug related applications on Android much easier. It may even be possible to not only support Smugmug, but Flickr, Zenfolio or any provider having an API as well.
If you're interested in helping to create a good Smugmug Content Provider, let me know by replying to this post. I can then open up the SVN on which the code is hosted, make it open-source all the way.

I can't grasp the notion of time.
When I hear the earth will melt into the sun,
in two billion years,
all I can think is:
"Will that be on a Monday?"
