Hi Christoph, All, Sorry for not being able to attend the last IRC meeting - I was at a Gartner conference representing Sahana in Chicago - just got back and all ready to go.
I'll join in the next IRC meeting to talk about the CSW client more - I'm at UTC/GMT +5.30, so the time is perfect for me. I'm currently reading up on the various links you had provided and the IRC chat log - based on this, I'll put up some starter points on the allocated wiki page.
