If there is a possibility for outside testing of this then I would also like
the opportunity, alpha/beta code or not.
Sounds extremely interesting.

Sounds very good. The obvious question, then, is where can we find out
more about it? I assume that this is alpha-quality right now? Is it
available for those of us who'd like to test it out and see what it
can do?
