Re: A feature(s) request-for-comment

[Martin Pala]

Good suggestions :)

I think we discussed these feautures in the past and decided more or 
less to implement it - we can update out TODO list (next.html)

There are currently more prioritized features in my book (we are working 
on m/monit - central management application) and i'm limited by amount 
of free time.

Code contributions are welcomed ;)

Cheers,
Martin
