Mike,

How is the next iteration of this coming along?  It seems like the basic
functionality is there and working pretty well.

All,

Do we have any consensus (or a final decision from the maintainer) about
multiple portals and failover yet?  It sounded like most people were ok wit=
h a
single portal implementation initially with the possibility of adding multi=
ple
portals back in as things solidified.  Or am I misinterpreting things?

Just want to check where things are at.

Thanks,
