I didn't know anything about QR codes until your email, but they sound
to be important.  We had previously looked into DataMatrix and PDF417
barcodes, but no paying customers have demanded them and we didn't
have running Python code to study for those two.  This looks fun - I
downloaded a reader for my iPhone so at least can test them.

Are you volunteering? That will certainly help ;-)
I'll try to take a look at the code later and make some suggestions on
how it could fit into our graphics framework.
