A valid cause ;)

A quickstart (almost quick&dirty is welcome) guide for your ninja design
would be great to help to pick up the ball.
Something like a: "If you would do <this> to be on the site, do <that>
in kohana in <those> files."
Just a few hints how you would like to see your concept during coding.

Oh no! Not in your coding skills - but you now that Merlin was a
magician with his own, not transparent for everyone, ways of acting? ;)

To keep the track of the brittish saga: There are some other cool names
like Mordred or Morgan le Fay - some possible names for Ninja? :D

I guess I have to start a test run with merlin to get a better thinking
of what it is doing. When I see it below my own fingers I bet I will
spent some kudohs ;)
