Request for mentoring?

Hi all.
I'm thinking of taking on bug 4504 as a longish term project - it's to offer automatic tweeting of new DW posts, which would scratch a personal itch for me.
But, it's a far wider-reaching thing than I've attempted on DW before, and would involve me learning a lot not just on how to do specific things, but on how to approach designing a new feature, IYSWIM.
Is there anybody experienced who'd be willing to do a bit of hand-holding and/or mentoring? I'm generally OK on minutiae, it's likely to be more a case of sanity-checking on overall approaches and answering "where can I find out about this thing". So I don't imagine it would be a huge time investment - especially as I'm kinda short on time myself at present - but it would require a little bit of expanding "do it this way" to "do it this way, and this is why" ;-)
Thanks in advance to anybody with spare time and inclination.
