Yep. It's a very natural implementation of concepts being discussed in the Ambassador's survey thread, and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one interested in making it happen - and I'm quite glad that somebody competent to actually do it is already working on it. (I think I could probably write about a third of the relevant documents, but haven't payed close enough attention to Agora recently enough to get the rest right.) - teucer
