Hi russell

I can ensure you that if you work on the resources and clearing the  
multi media
part we will use your code.

I can understand.

I'm not sure that the evolution is the problem, may be original lack  
of design
or simply the lack of refactoring after the first draft.

I'm sorry but I missed it.

I share with you this feeling. Some people do not value elegance but  
stuff that
works now.
However if we do not do anything then nothing will happen. this is  
why I'm spending time
taking care of harvesting and integrating good assets. I'm for  
example waiting for the services.
