Hello,

 I know this has been discussed before but I want to bring it up again
because I think its important: messaging/task queue system. Just imagine a
world where doing something on launchpad meant it happened almost instantly
instead of waiting for the next cronjob to fire! :) Imagine a world where
you didn't have to write a schema patches for every little type of job you
wanted to create but instead just had to write some good old' python code!
Imagine a world where we didn't need our LOASs to be running scripts on
production servers because we wanted a task or job to occur. Imagine a world
where different launchpad applications could easily pass messages and
communicate with each other without requiring the shackles of strong
coupling. Wouldn't all that be pretty nice?

 Does anybody who is familiar with the original initiative have any
information on why its became stalled? What can we do to get this moving
again?

Cheers,
