There are a lot of places where we could be leaking memory.

I am definitely better when meeting face to face than when communicating

I'd be enthusisast if you felt like working on this during the sprint.

I'll be working on "grokkers for Zope2" as well so we will try manage as

Bertrand did send a patch for KSS as well. Is he sprinting with us ?

Would you two sprint on chasing memory leaks ?
