I have put on my thinking cap after developing the prototype of FreeMoney, 
and I will present you with some ideas / issues / proposals that I think is 
outside the scope of a Financial Application. I think that some of these 
fits  well into Pas; others may not fit, but you have to be able to build 
them on top of Pas. 

First is my personal timeline. I will try to have something meaningful 
finished at the end of this year / beginning of next. This means that I 
don't want to waste too much time on Apache 1.3x, but hope that by then, 
Apache 2.0 and mod_perl 2.0 is a meaningful match. 

Of course, I hope that I can have some sort of site running long before 
that, but the aim is to have a couple of weeks in Jan 2003 where I have time 
to work with FreeMoney. 

This is my preliminary list of issues:
 - Security
I know we had a bit of discussion regarding security and access control, but 
as I remember, there was no conclusion. 

There was a reference to some user information, but I couldn't tell if it 
already is in Pas or not. 

 - Menu
 - Filter
 - i18n
 - Data Source
 - Scheduling
 - Style
 - Components
 - User interaction
The three last items are connected, but I can't think of a common title for 
them right now! 

I will start in my next message with security and menus.
