Hello All, I have been talking to Raster and Gustavo on a side thread and have gotten the e site running on my personal server. I will be reviewing the wish list / suggestion items from the thread, as well as the items Gustavo mentions below and will begin work in the next day or two. Please feel free to email me directly if there are specific items that others feel are important to realize. I do not wish to get in the middle of the discussion being a new egg and all ;-), so please try to keep the list to something manageable and specific so that I can hit the mark on what improvements everyone would like to see.
