G'day Everyone,
My apologies for being quiet on this issue. I've been
on honeymoon for part of the discussion, and was in the depths of
a business hand-over and wedding planning before that.

One of the things I've been wanting to add for a while is to allow
F::Q to use multiple sources for currencies. Right now currencies
in F::Q are always grabbed from Yahoo -- there isn't a good way to
'plug' a currency source into F::Q.
There are many many improvements to F::Q that I'd like to make,
including a nicer way to deal with information rather than the
old and outdated 'multi-dimensional arrays', and instead provide
a proper structure using references. I've had a real time squeeze
over the last two years due to starting a very successful business,
and this has left me for less time to maintain F::Q as I would like.
In an ideal world, I'd have someone else maintaining F::Q, and I'd
just throw in suggestions from time-to-time. To an extent David
Hampton has been assisting here recently, which I very much
appreciate.

Not dead, but certainly not as active as it could be. That may
change as I increase my holdings over the next 6-12 months. I'm
extremely pleased to see that F::YQ has been so active.
Cheers,
Paul
