Oh, absolutely. Though that it started as a vanity article really

(The stable versions feature is ticking along nicely as I understand
it - the paid dev is doing great work and there's a pile of volunteers

everything. Hence the long time between its suggestion, at the time of
the Indian Ocean tsunami, and it going live anywhere at all.)
