Hi Ian, thanks for your feedback, Concerning your will to help us with the english mistakes in OBM, I am very interested in collecting everything you can notice (directly by email is ok). I am also interested in all kind of bugs report. For all the other points, someone else with a better skill in OB integration than me, will answer to you.
