Thanks for all the great ideas guys. Working on the Manage Authors dialog sounds interesting. I'll take a look at it and see what I can do.

Kovid, one of the things that I want to work on is fit and finish of the GUI. I don't want to change everything around, but instead clean up what is there. For example, there are some dialogs where buttons and labels don't quite line up and could be adjusted by a few pixels so that they do.

And while I have your attention: is there a Windows-based IDE that you would recommend for working on calibre? I used to work with a guy that had an IDE for C code that let him do things such as double click on a function call and it would open the file with the function definition and put his cursor at the top of it. If I had something like that for exploring calibre's source it would help a lot. Even something that would take the source and hyperlink it like that in a set of HTML pages would be welcome. Right now I'm using grep, less, and vim.
