No, there isn't yet.

This sounds very interesting, it basically means client-side support
for SqS in Squeak. This would make SqS more like SqueakMap.

An other intersting option this opens is it allows us to run expensive
jobs like activity analysis on the second cpu.

I don't know if we need that much overhead. You wan't a list of
projects and maybe their title, so why not use CSV? Much simpler, much
more efficient, no XML-parser required.
