Ok, but still the invitation to the mailing list is on. Also you know I 
talk pretty good Italian, so in case English is a problem, he can feel 
free to contact me in private.

Sorry Massimo, no offense intended and I am sorry if you misunderstand 
the words of my previous letter. I took the chance of writing about sdnd 
because this is a public list and I took the opportunity to inform those 
who don't follow the situation as closely as you.

kss.plugin.sdnd is really just a low level thing and does not compare to 
anything we see on the video. So saying "it works" is not to diminish 
Nicola's work: on the contrary. I believe that Nicola's work is very 
promising and I really admire that besides working on the application 
level he also succeeded to fix the kss wrapping _and_ the javascript part 
at the same time which is, I believe is an enormous success and was 
probably very hard to achieve.

This is, one of the reasons, why I want to see the code. I'd like to see 
what codebase he started from and what fixes and enhancements he needed 
to make on the plugin level to make it work at all. The other reason is 
to see and undertand the application level itself.

About the application itself, I definitely think it covers a 
functionality that will need to be managed centrally in Plone. It will 
also open a discussion on both the UI design and the implementation level 
where I hope others will comment as well. I am more competent in the 
lower application level and I can only repeat that to say anything more 
we really need to see the code and test it ourselves.

Kissbooth is a good possibility, but anywhere where it is openly 
accessible is fine.

Best wishes, and give my regards to Nicola.
