Anyone on this list interested in being paid to re-do the Windows
client? Ideally, I'd want something with an easy-to-use installer.
Should work more consistently than the current Windows client, and
file restores should be simple. I don't care if it's a ground-up
reimplementation, or what language it's in.

Any takers? Approximate asking price to do the job? Anyone else want
to chip in money to make this happen?
