I keep learning new names! Unsurprisingly it's very hard to find how to contact Lennart though I obviously would love to hear whether he made any progress since GUADEC 13. I'll keep these names down somewhere though, thanks. > As with any detailed design discussion, face-to-face discussions are > important also.

It might be a bit too late for SF :) I'm able to come to Berlin, do you reckon there will be any time to discuss programming sandboxed apps? If so then I'd like to join! I also put down the GUADEC dates on my calendar. Will be there, surely. >> Would you like me to put these down on a wiki page so we can extend and find >> for which use cases problems arise?

I did spot a rudimentary sandbox page in the meantime. I'll probably rewrite one soon and let you guys know.
