There's still a lot of work to do, but I've made some updates to the site 
this afternoon.  I've posted a more comprehensive architecture doc that 
attempts to explain the various layers of the player and how they 
interact.  There still needs to be a bunch of work done on this, but it's a 
start and if anyone has questions they can post them to this email list.

Also, we've set up a place to check in statements of design (SODs) for 
developers to explain complicated features/problems and their proposed 
solutions.  These docs are intended to help with product maintenance and 
also spur discussion about implementation.  Ryan has already begun checking 
in some SODs for some of the features he's working on.

I'd like other developers to write up a SOD (using the template provided) 
for any complex features they are adding to the product.  You should also 
try your best to link to these SODs from the appropriate section of the 
main architecture document, so this information can be easily cross-referenced.

Suggestions and corrections are always welcome.

Thanks!
