Mhm I have nothing to counter since your proposal makes sense. I will
now starting to work on task 6. It can, however, takes some time since
it is now release time for some of my projects. You might noticed this
incidently because I wasn't really active on this list for some days.

The MVC branch will be improved at my employer. I convinced him also to
distribute it as free software. Maybe it is someday ready for our
project maybe not.
