Eric -
This is great. I feel like we've finally got a clear explication of what
it is we need the doctablish system to do. And it sounds from David's
comments as though Lampadas could be tailored to meet our needs.

This captures the most important feature for me - the ability to see
things done, and things not done.

Another important role in my opinion.

Would Lampadas be directly linked to our cvs, so it would know when a
doc is updated? Or would a manual step be required to tell it?

Thanks again, Eric, for the investigation.
