 DR> OK I've read everything. I am interested. Who else is working on this

 DR> link them into this echo?

Håkan (2:200/0) and Micael (2:204/710) are the other two main contributors,
and they are both linked to this echo. I don't know if they're reading
though. I know Håkan is also very busy with "real life" stuff at
the moment though.

The project is currently sleeping, because noone has had the time/energy to
take the lead and move it forward. It's also a bit disappointing to take
all incoming fire in FTSC_PUBLIC/NET_DEV as soon as one mention the word
XML. I do believe it has a very good potential though...

 DR> So this iFBB runs on Win32 platform? I will have to check it out and

Yeah, I think Micael is a "Microsoft" guy so he's using IIS and
ASP and other nasty stuff. I'm more of a GNU/Linux and Apache/PHP guy
myself. The good thing with XML is that it's pretty universal so we get
along fine anyway... ;-)

 DR> So where are you going with it? What does the future look like to you?

I'd like to finish it up and start using it at my main system (currently
I'm only using it at this private test system). I hope to be able to add
the last few bits and get it up and running this autumn/winter.
