You're right, I meant to say gmetad...  it was late last night :)

Can you elaborate on the last point?   Depending on what you mean
exactly, I might have a solution for that...

I think going forward the gmetad-python code could be easier to
maintain and add new features, and not to mention it supports the
plug-in interface.  However, it hasn't really been tested in a large
production environment for scalability and stability, so that's why I
really want to get it released in some form or manner ASAP.

This is a call for help -- if you have a large installation and would
like to help test some cutting edge code, please take gmetad-python
out for a spin and report back any issues you may have.  Hopefully
we'll have it packaged up and released as 3.2.0 by early 2011 :-)

Thanks all!

Bernard
