My issue with running the mockup is what is it in? I'm assuming its a tk 
script, but I don't use tk. Is it pure tk? Python/tk? perl/tk? There 
were no real indications of version of tk required or instructions of 
usage. Just a statement of "run this script". Hmmm...words "security 
risk" come to mind.
It may have been useful to post to postbin and provide the link to the 
mailing list. The others can see the script itself before 
saving/downloading.

It is also the week before a long weekend in NA, so some people may be 
taking a week off before the end of summer.

Just an observation.
