Well, it's hard to test every piece anyways. We need more test programs.
Small test programs. Integrating PyODE could be a good way to get
smaller tests. Also, we could try rewriting the current tests using the
C++ wrapper and see if the code gets smaller.

That sounds good. There are already some stuffs at
http://opende.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/ODE_Internals

We also need volunteers to document the code.

There's already a tracker on SF:
