Brad or Jarl, Could I get a quick description of how all three projects will be tied together and ordered? If you give me the text, I can make a Dia flowchart and put it on the web page. You should probably organize the summary into 5 sections, according to the layers or parts of VSh: Front Gnome Interface (Loci) Middle Definitions Layer (Loci) Brokering Layer (GMS) Processing Layer (Overflow) Back Foreign Applications Thanks.
