No offense taken, all comments were reasonable.
It sounded like you guys had a good vision what
you wanted to accomplish (and on the same page)
I want to encourage it.  Building off of gizflo
works also - I don't want to limit anyone's
ambitions.

It is a good time to wade through the design
goals and architecture.  I think the cfg will
be too limiting and not the right fit.  I won't
explore the cfg but I encourage anyone to
demonstrate capturing the full board definitions
with cfg and we can discuss from there.

No need for apologies, ideas can and should be
challenged and often we will disagree.  In the
cases where we disagree on technical issue we
need a method to move forward.  More often than
not we will eventually agree based on our
arguments :)
