Yes, that is quite similar to the idea that went through my head after |
| 12 |
reading Christophers response. And I quite like it. |

I'll bring this up at our upcoming userrel meeting and I'll also tease |
| 23 |
our GWN liaison with the idea. And of course, I will be welcoming |
| 24 |
feedback from developers and users. Ideas are welcome, and if someone |
| 25 |
has any thoughts on how they think this could be done without eating |
| 26 |
valuable developer time then I'd be more than happy to hear them! |
