I took a look at the changes. I think that the new settings in
Application.config could use some detailed documentation -- I was unclear
how they work. Also, I noticed some stuff in the diffs that needs to be
cleaned up before this can be checked in -- references to
"latitude.jslove.org" and stuff like that. And generally, a bit more
docstrings and explanation of the new code too.
Generally I really like the idea behind this change. I haven't had a
chance to actually try it out though, but I hope it works :-) I was hoping
someone else would try it and work out the kinks before I did :-) If not,
maybe I'll get a chance towards the end of the week.
