Hi Murod,
I think you raise some really good points, but being more towards the
implementers side than the developers side, it would be very useful to
see what you describe in action. Is the "local copy" which you refer
to available on Launchpad so that maybe those of us that are
interested could take a look at what you have done thus far?


Regards,
Jason
