Thanks. It's been a long process, but I'm happy to be waiting on the DAM
stage, hopefully for not too long. =)

Everything is a great system. We're working on it in our spare time.
I'd love to get a 1.0 version out by the end of the year, but I don't
know how long the 1.0 features we want will take to develop and test.
It's a slow going effort, but it's still going on.
I took a look at the website. We would need some international character
hints, especially for search. I'd be interested to see how it would
fly.

I started wanting to maintain debian in the archive, but now the whole
Debian thing has taken on a life of it's own. I can't wait to help out
more.

Not natively no. I am going to do some translations, as I was a spanish
student for many years and I'm trying to get back into it. The
translations help me keep it fresh.

Thanks. They are set up now (debconf coming soon) at my private apt
archive at http://jay.bonci.com. The debconf items are waiting on a
little spare time from me (just started a new job).
