That design would ruine the speed and flexibility I see possible for overflow. I
really
want to have the overflow capacity in the VSH system, but it should be made
isolated
in order to keep it's speed and possibilities. And gms already has taken outside
world
IO etc. in account, so why move that functionality to overflow?

OK to me, but just for now we need to have a goal for every project (Loci,
Overflow and gms) to work on in order to 'intergrate' them. Later on we
will evuluate.

SO the basis design for a collaboration-pilot is clear to me, I want to know if
everybody else is also OK and we can start discussing the implementation of
this pilot.
Every project please come to a conclussion..
