I'm very excited by the new mle package now incorporated in stats4. If possible, I'd like to help develop it. In the past I wrote a similar package (mleprof, available from http://www.zoo.ufl.edu/bolker/R/src), and would like to see if there's anything that my package does that I could contribute (in particular, I'd like to make sure that the code is as robust as possible in constructing profiles and finding confidence limits); I also have...

I'm trying to get a grasp of maximum-likelihood estimation and would like to find a package that performs mle (hopefully a simple example).
