It would probably be a good idea to keep in touch about what you are thinking 
about doing.

I'd suggest posting a brief sketch of your ideas on the list to get feedback 
from those of us who've already spent some time with Morphic event handling 
(and still have the scars).

Probably it would make sense to use 3.9alpha.

At least in my experience, it's far more likely that people will ignore you 
than yell at you. There are a number of things that have been posted to the 
list that have not gotten the attention they've deserved.

So this is another reason that having some discussion before you put a lot of 
work into the project can help: it can help recruit others who will then be 
excited about what you did.
