Hi Will,

This is a great question and as the Website administrator I would
normally ask you to post this in the appropriate channel. But to help
get an answer (especially to your question about how to help to the
features you want) I'm posting it to the developers mailing list.

If you reply to any of the messages, you should subscribe to the mailing
list first by looking at the email footer of that message.

Developers and Users: see the message below and reply.

Best Regards, Martin Owens
