I think I'll take a crack at it. Doing it in phases means I can invest a little less time and still give everyone a chance to see if they like it. And, the initial stuff seems like the area where people will be the most likely to have problems and/or suggestions. I have no idea how long it will take to get something out there. Stay tuned.
