Notes:
current projects: I'm working on a Cocoa Application written in Objective- C that I intend to distribute freely! It's called iRecipe and it's a way of managing a recipe database, a weekly menu, and grocery list.
how i can contribute to your project: I am particularly skilled in UML and Design and Analysis. I have excellent writing skills as well. What this means is I can contribute to any Free Software projects that would like professional level documentation made for them. But be prepared to be drilled down to the very last detail. And I hate reading ugly code! ^_^

Updates:
Updated my Scope document to include a search feature. rupert you aren't the first to suggest that most obvious feature that iRecipe should have heh he... it reminded me why i put that Search button in the toolbar window. Just to recap, Search will allow you to search for a recipe by category, name, or ingredient.< br>
What's Next:
I'm working on getting a nice object model diagram put together. This is my first "OS" type application. Everything else I've written either had a Database backend or didn't require you to save more than some user preferences. So I'm in some new territory and I hope I make the right design decisions.

Questions:
1. With regards to Archiving/Serializing objects, does anybody know of some good, high level resources? I'm just looking for something online that I can peruse to make sure I'm setting this up right.
2. Does anybody know of any resources for XML parsing within Cocoa?

Zoinks... despite evil network issues at work and even more evil fax machines and freakin stupid windows XP (grr don't *even* get me started!!!) I finally got my UI designs uploaded... check them out here. Grrr... in the end I emailed them to my mac and just uploaded them from home.

Rant:</b>
You'd think the world's most notorious software company would have a reliable internal network. Grrr... it's times like these it takes all of my strength not to tell customers calling in with dysfunctional IIS servers to just SWITCH TO FREAKIN APACHE!!!!

Responses:

Ugh... ok well now i can finally go to bed.
