The user side of the list has been pretty quiet to be sure. Most of the discussion happens internal to the team. The primary KIS developer is out the office until next week but I'll try to make sure he addresses this as soon as he can. I agree entirely with the more eyes approach and none of us have a lot of ego sunk into the details of the code in and of itself. As researchers, more than anything else, we want the concept moved forward. We believe, strongly, that having these metrics in the mainline can really do a lot to help the entire user community and spur some really neat development.
