 * The framework is there, we just need to fill it in. Gflores Talk 17:17, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd like to modify how we "fill it in." I would suggest we not bulk it up, as it is already 38 KB in size.  We can add to it, but I think it also needs a fair amount of "slimming," which I am working on.  Sunray 20:58, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
