Hi Andrew.

Can I email you what I have when it's ready for first review? Then maybe we
can iterate and discuss as you mentioned? I'd really like to get your
feedback before putting anything out for wide distribution.

Chris

I'd just like to extend an offer I made to Chris.

I've been working on a library creation/management solution full time for a
couple of years now so have a pretty good grasp of the problem. If anybody
is interested in pursing this I would be happy to take you through the
design decisions/trade-offs we made, which might act as a good starting
point, and perhaps highlight some of the things that could be done
differently (we tried a lot of different stuff). Happy to
Skype/Hangout/Phone etc.

Cheers
