I think Martijn and you will make for a good combination.  That won't keep
me from participating though! :)

I totally agree that the goal of the SoC project should be to create a base
on which we can build the actual transforms.  Getting the interfaces and
implementation right for the base is crucial and will allow us to
migrate/add transforms quickly.

Yeah!
