Too bad :(

I'll put my hopes on Carlos then.

Ok. It would indeed be fantastic if for the external-crawler work you
could make some slides and/or short explanation (plus more lengthy
explanation). The latter would actually also be very nice to have
before I do the review in August.

I can normally distillate a presentation out of such a explanation and
it makes the reviewing process more easy.

yw. You know I work hard to keep the commercial side of the Tracker
project on the tracks, right? :-)
