Hi all,

Somehow this mail went to my spam folder, I discovered it while doing
slight checks before emptying it... I guess it was my fault, so I'm
deeply sorry :/

I'd really like to see some integration, but I've got a little question:
is it really worth to drop almost all the code in favour of gst
architecture? moving to it will imply huge changes in your code (moving
all the hard logic to the backends, which are written in perl, and
making the frontend a simple GUI for it.

If the answer is yes, I wouldn't mind at all to provide the neccessary
framework in the GST for it, backend-wise and frontend-wise, and even
collaborate as much as I can in making it possible :)

If the asnwer is no, then just a collaboration framework would be cool,
we might be thinking and pushing for a common authentication platform,
common UI guidelines, a common control-center place/structure... etc,
which is really necessary too for all our tools

Nice to know about your list, I've just subscribed :)

	Carlos
