<br>So I figured there's possibly a niche that a determined team of developers could fill in. For basics, I have wrapped my mind around possibly employing J2EE for this, but that may be because I'm recently into Enterprise JavaBeans and stuff (still, the EJB approach provides a good base for abstraction and separation of the model (data access and queries), view (presentation or results: XML, wikitext, etc.) and controller (user queries, cron triggers)). As far as I remember, we have the GlassFish AppServ installed on stable.ts?<br>
<br>In essence, such a framework would be a useful "byproduct" of this project. ;-)<br><br>Just some thoughts...<br><br>Regards,<br>Misza<br></div>
