I'm not.

A few thoughts you might find helpful:

There are some high-level docs for OB on my website: 
<http://www.wiresong.ca/OmniBrowser/Docs/>. For low-level detail, see 
the class comments in the latest version.

OB isn't as solidly tested as I'd like. In particular, Actions have 
poor coverage, so beware. The other areas are generally pretty good.

The most significant change in OB you'll encounter is that I've 
completely removed Contexts. The motivation for having them  in the 
first place was to support PackageBrowsers. When I dropped package 
support from OB, I was able to simplify the CodeNode classes 
enormously.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Have fun,
