I volunteered to take the project when Hannes asked if there was anyone willing to work on setting it up. I have to agree with you guys too on the testing part. So I will skip the part for writing any code for testing, logging until the decision is finalized on what tools will be using for testing. I don't mean to sound like I am dis-regarding your recommendations; however, in the time being I will respectfully proceed with the other part such as setting up the notification queue and I will let you know when I am ready to work on the testing/logging phase. I will be mostly responsible for its maintenance so I want to make things as easy as possible for myself and anyone else I will be assisting to help in its maintenance. I will keep you guys posted. -- "Good Enough" is not good enough. To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift. Quality First. Measure Twice. Cut Once.
