I understand and can agree with your process. However, since it's already in Satchmo and meets my needs, I don't have the capacity to spin it off and maintain it. If there is someone on the list that is willing to do it, I will certainly help but I feel like I barely have time to keep Satchmo up and running as it is now! > > I think there are probably some technical implementation issues that > need to be addressed.

Once again, if anyone on the list wants to spearhead this one, I'll be happy to help them out but I'm not in a position where I can run it right now.
