There are two things I forgot in my last post:

1) While I didn't end up getting the amount of help I had really hoped to get, there are a few people who deserve a big thanks. In particular, John Morahan of IO1 got to spend 4 days, paid, on Views 2 and he knocked out half a dozen good features in that time and did a great job of saving me several days worth of work; he did a couple of very difficult tasks and that helped a lot. People like Roy Scholten (yoroy) and Alan Pritt (alpritt) among several others were instrumental in making the UI as clean and usable as it is. Jeff Eaton, Alan Pritt and James Gilliland (neclimdul) all contributed significant amounts of code for the handlers, and Larry Garfield (Crell) gave a fantastic early code review that helped head off a couple of incorrect directions that I might have gone.

Many other people helped out in the issue queue and several smaller tasks were helpfully submitted. Yves Chedemois and Karen Stevenson were absolutely fantastic at providing feedback, contributing bug fixes and outright large amounts of code. Adrian Roussouw managed to submit a few early base handler classes, too. I'm sure I'm forgetting at least a couple of people who have had some input, and I apologize to those not mentioned here who should be for my sketchy memory. But I wanted to make sure that all of these people got a mention and my public thanks.

2) I've actually done some pretty heavy in-code documentation. Yes, not enough, I'm aware, and some things are still marked 'stub'. Hopefully not forever. Unfortunately, Drupal's api.module cannot handle documenting classes, so I've set up the good old standard doxygen to run this code for you. Module developers in particular will find http://views.doc.logrus.com to be very helpful.
