I think I have named some very specific things in the beginning of this
thread. Please tell me what info you are missing.

I have mailed you the relevant information in private mail.

Again I'd like to know what you miss. It's all in the previous mail, the
townhall log and in two trac tickets that you should already know
(because you commented in one of them). I also referred to a discussion
that took place on the advisory board list, so I guess you know better
than me.

If you still miss something, please let me know.

Regards,
Christoph
