I've had this problem too.

Well, I have about the same level of experience that you do, but I'll  
take a look at the code and see if I can offer assistance.

I haven't read the code itself yet, but I'm extremely interested in  
the project.  I'm a fairly experienced Pythonista, yet I've never  
really worked on networked projects in any programming language  
before.  Not only does it interest me, but it's a good way to expand  
my knowledge base.

I would be interested in collaborating in a project like this, I  
think.  Feel free to email me privately to talk further if you wish.
