Hi David,

yes, that's essentially what we're talking about, but coming up with a
solution that's entirely open source, so we don't have to rely on
localized or proprietary software to do it. The discussions have been
quiet as of late, much of it due to the fact I've been tied up with
Katrina-related work for the last two weeks. I'm in the process of
writing a brief two-pager for a colleague at Nokia who's expressed
interest in our project, to see if he can stir up some support for it.
Meanwhile, I'm off to Scotland tomorrow and will be gone for about 10
days, so once I get back at the end of the month, hopefully we'll be
able to pick things up and focus a bit more then.

thanks,
ac
