[Albert M. <amo...@ev...>]

I'm moving the thread to the devel list, as it's turning more to it.
We don't experience any problems with locks in the server (perhaps twice a
year), but the truth is that it does not suffer too high a trade of data.
I don't believe the use of plugins would make it go much worse (after all, the
client will access the server anyway with the extra communication load), but if
you prefer writing a client side program, there are a few people who have done
it. I think the starting point is the SimpleInterface class, but I haven't used
it, so you ought to check the devel list archive to get a more accurate idea of
how to begin. A crawler of the project tree is for sure not too difficult to
implement.

Albert.
