Sounds good.

Lampadas is not ready for production, really, not as a whole. But it is to 
the state where I really need it to be in use in order to identify the 
remaining problems. I don't expect it to eat data, but I expect you will 
have complaints/suggestions on how to improve it.

If and when those changes require database changes, we'll have to 
export/reimport the data, which will be a bit of a bother but not a 
serious issue.

FYI, I have a script that parses through all .omf files in the CVS tree 
and populates the database as it is able. That might be helpful to you, 
and save you some typing.

The biggest current issue in Lampadas is that I have a lot of trouble 
generating outputs for the source files. One reason I suggest going ahead 
with the installation is because I can work on that part of the system 
using your real data (without any risk to the rest of the system).

Another issue is that the translation management interface is pretty weak. 
I hope to get your help in making it better -- not code, just advice.

Enough rambling. I'm ready to go and looking forward to seeing this beast 
at Gnome! Woo Hoo!
