I am suggesting that we extend the current URL scheme with a simpler version for beginner users. As I said in my previous email the current scheme would remain the same. > What we have at the moment is practical and it works, and I don't > think I would go so far as to describe the learning curve as steep.

As we are re-factoring the client for 0.10 support I just felt that it would be the right time for providing a management tool. Having a management tool could have lead of changing old behaviors that were introduced most certainly because you did not have one for 0.8. I effectively "feels" that it is not right to create a destination when a consumer is registered. But if you have code relying on it we must obviously keep it. Arnaud
