The stuff that's implemented (cp, mv, rm, ls and parts of chmod) is already quite robust - I use it for real work. I'm not so sure anymore that multiple metadata files (split, merge) were a good idea. I might never implement them. I'm still undecided on storing metadata inside PDFs. So far, I haven't come up with an intuitive semantics for the case that there is more than one pertinent set of metadata.

The current SVN version has the beginnings of man pages, I plan to complete them.

Most definitely. During the annual pre-Xmas rush, I couldn't do anything, but gather experience on what works, what not and what would be good to have (NB: suggestions are welcome). Next on my list are bookmark editing and adding and removing empty pages to PDF files for extended notes.
