I have commitment from a manager in BMC Engineering to share ideas (he actually proposed his help while looking at ARSList - great!)
I have drafted something to begin with<https://communities.bmc.com/communities/docs/DOC-16743> . Please check it out, and share your thoughts. - Add a *Comment *if you want to send a heads-up - *Edit* the Doc directly (yes, wikipedia-style), should you be able to make things progress directly (for example, I asked questions where some of you may also have the answers) This is a great Use Case showing how powerful the Remedy Developer Community is, I'm really excited by this 1st topic.
