Thanks. Yes, I also think that this app can be used as a larger "sample"
app which you could copy stuff from.
We have done quite a bit of generally useful things, like a syslog-ish
Log mechanism, a Scheduler a la cron, a bunch of session classes (with
and without Seaside) with Magma integration, a connection pool (mostly
copied from Kilauea, even though I have probably patched it into
oblivion now), a large scale use of the Command pattern blablabla...

Please tell and I can tweak these things to get it as painless as
possible, even if its details. :)

When initializing the db there is a lot of stuff going on.

Ok. Possibly. Or rather, it probably tried popping. The default settings
for POP3 is bogus of course but by default all Q2Services are activated
so it will try to pop. I forgot to deactivate most of those services in
the default image. The services available are Q2Service subclasses and
each has a class comment. I think you would want to deactivate all to
start with using:

	Q2Scheduler deactivateAllServices  (IIRC)

No problem :). The initial accounts etc are also described at the Swiki:

...should perhaps have pointed to the Swiki more forcefully in that
Doits window. :)
