I don't understand. What exactly do you mean by this?

I'd like to take that task, but I've got some more questions:

- - What format will the server's XML have (basic RSS or own formar). And
which xml parser is the prefered choice (SAX2, DOM, elementree)
- - Is it possible to reload a handler while the application is running?
If yes, a method to retrieve the ModuleContext instance of a module by
only knowing it's filename will be neccessary.
