Hi


I can tell you that the harvesting process is ***Really*** difficult. I 
tried to help
and without tests this is extremely difficult to evaluate if you are 
not breaking something
in the system. So if you want to help the harvesters provides test for 
your functionality (but
even with tests for your functionality) this is difficult because we do 
not have a test suite
for everything.

Just a remark, nathanael did a complete refactoring of the Collection 
hierarchy based on
traits and he showed that we can 12% in size and a better design.
We are convinced that traits could help to really refactor Morphic too. 
So may be this would
be a good way to show the value of traits.

We will certainly redo a clean room implementation of the traits model 
but this is not our top priority for the moment. Now if you want to be 
able to load traits as a CS contact nathanael
he is looking for help.
