[Seaside] Glorp/Seaside experience exchange on- or offline, anybody?

[jtuchel at objektfabrik.de]

Thomas,

thanks for your interest. Yes, I was sure I am not alone in my search 
for best practices and recipes. Or stories of failures to learn from.

So we are already 3, because I got a PM from another developer not 
really located in our Region ;-)

Hope to hear from a few more soon.
