OK, guys I have some bad news. I talked to the Continue people and they
have told me that they can't release the source (or give it to me) at
this stage, all they can do is host the app for us at Brown Univ. (which
is obviously not acceptable). This is extremely disappointing for me
since I never expected them to be like that since they have already
released so many useful Free Software apps in the past.

So what I propose is that instead of waiting for somebody else to
provide something, we should just start writing something for ourselves.
I can kick-start an app quickly in Python & PostgreSQL and other members
can also contribute by enhancing the app, or sending in bug reports.

Vivek too has promised a similar app which he can deliver after April
12, which is absolutely fine. We can just throw-away our code if Vivek's
app is superior and just use that, no issues. But instead of just
waiting now, we better start writing something right now. If any one of
you have a public Subversion repository it will be of help, else I can
just use Bazaar-NG and host my branch somewhere.

I solicit your comments on this.

Regards,
BG
