Thanks for the background. I guess my biggest question is what's the easiest way to keep an eye on this experiment. Given my time constraints I can't volunteer to help with direct contributions, but given how personally excited I am about the direction -- I'd be more than happy to serve as a user guinea pig. > My goal - purely selfish - to avoid the extra build required to have a > podling's website update, so that no one has to login to CMS to promote > their chanes.

In fact, truth be told, everytime I nee to update podling status I feel like that extra level of things I need to do forces me to do only bulk updates. If we can fix that by making the process super simple that'd be awesome!
