The first thing you should do is talk with Eric Price
(eprice at tjhsst.edu), author of the code.  You don't need to use SF for
now; CVS should be fine, but you should find out whether Eric would like
to approve changes first.

There's no reason you can't start with a pre-PEP now; I'd focus on
interface (i.e. the question of what ``Decimal(5)/3`` and
``5/Decimal(3)`` should do -- my personal take at this point is that
both ought to fail).
