Remember that JHS might just be a front end to a local J installation (and perhaps the default front end for some new users). In that situation then having "GUI" JAL support would be nice (not essential as the command line jpkg interface would still work). For a remote-shared server (like the jsoftware jhs) then I imagine it depends firstly whether the ~addons folder is shared across all users/sessions or are user/session specific. If they are shared, then it might be handled by user permissions? All users would be able to view installed/notinstalled/status etc. "Admin" users would be able to install/maintain addons. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
