Hi Andrew. Can I email you what I have when it's ready for first review? Then maybe we can iterate and discuss as you mentioned? I'd really like to get your feedback before putting anything out for wide distribution.

I've been working on a library creation/management solution full time for a couple of years now so have a pretty good grasp of the problem.
