Re: Consider this as my gift for 2006

Hey Laurent, Forgive me for top-posting, that's quite a bit of history. The web frontend is exactly what I've been looking for... and in the future, perhaps integration with Greg's Channel Server and Davey's Frontend for an extended administrative interface for publishing and managing packages. This is excellent, and I'm willing to help if you or Greg need any assistance or ginnea pigs. Bravo.
