Sorry I haven't seen your reply before. I have left work on that module 
behind for a while due to LibreDWG issues. Now the issues seem to be 
addressed and I plan to get back to work on the module by next week. I 
was wondering if I could get access to the Addons SVN, and if someone 
would be wanting to mentor me on that (I've read RFC2). I can publish a 
tarball before that for evaluation, but I'd like to make it available to 
the community anyway.

I'll check it out, thanks.
