Fine.

I was on the edge to propose to you to make a shared branch of
rbcollins_filters. That branch is defenitely beyond being a private
branch.

I assume that you have documented the new branches and their scopes in
projects.html?

I guess this is what formerly was rbcollins_filters?

Ok. You are the maintainer ofthose, so how the changes flows is your
problem ;-)

A little warning however: Merging changes from two sources into one
branch can be a bit troublesome as some (quite many) changes will be
received from both..

I think You, me and Adrian might need to coordinate our effors there.. a
lot of separation between client, server and store is currently under
design/concideration/implementation...

Maybe the modio branch to some extents.
