I am not sure if this would be possible. It does sound interesting but I 
think I would not be the one to organize this as I am quite unfamiliar 
with any of these tools. If we could get to the point where we could 
test it out we could make a case for it.

I am, just like most of you, short of time as well. Someone else would 
have to create the initiative for this.

BTW ... Jean is away at an important conference on documentation and 
maybe she will come back with an idea on this.

Cheers,

Marc
