I've found that version 1.0.4rc2 has a much quicker response on the web interface than even the 1.0.4rc1 version. This is great news, as I find that this was the biggest drawback to using this tool. I also appreciate the rpm packages for RHEL4 and 5. One more step to making my life easier!
Great progress, and keep up the good work.
