For those in the list without access to the Igalia intranet, I should say
that we have plans for moving everything out to the public webpage during
the next weeks. Meanwhile, I am sorry if you receive some information with
references to non-available info or docs.

That is great.

I was sugesting that because yourself have sent an e-mail proposing a change
in the architecture (separation of data and control in two channels). If you
think you need more time, there is no problem at all :-)

Could you ellaborate a bit more in the motivations of this?
