Hi, this mail is about the OIM system and stats... First, OIMs. We all agree that TclSOAP isn't good at all currently... But using http isn't as easy as Youness said because in fact we won't use it... (Yeah that's bad I know) Because Http extension can't use SOCKS proxies... So we will need to implement several things based on the authentication way... Second, about the stats... Youness decided to publish them here... Great but the main aim wasn't to keep it secret... I just missed of time to implement it in the new website and in addition, the stats weren't valid in the first days... Now, they seem to be stable... Anyway one trouble remains, the sorting of all these skins/plugins... How can we achieve an efficient sorting. I mean that if we sort plugins by downloads it will make these more downloaded and good unknown skins will never be at the top... If someone has an idea... Phil
