hi all!  i'll be working with patorak on this (and other) projects, and he asked me if i could field comments, questions and references so he can spend more time on modeling and devlopment.  i just wanted to let you know that i started a thread in the developer's forum to poll everyone interested and determine which (freebie) item to start with.   so please place your votes!
