hi bob

I'm sure that they is something good in that direction. May be we 
should have a way to report from within the image itself too.
Posting a change is really easy there is the post to the list. It would 
be really cool to have a
comanche server that would know how to accept comments and review about 
a changeset.

In the KCP I'm often bored and slowdown because I have to manually 
udpate the changeset into the page. I like the idea of the page because 
everybody can follow what we are doing and load all the code in one 
click. Now if for the review people could say review for changeset... 
and automatically the review gets published in the wiki page with the 
right tag. this would make all the reviewing process and sharing of 
changeset between a group much easier. We were thinking to use cvs but 
this is too closed and going to sourceforge seems to us killing.

So I do not know if the stream is really the solution but there is 
something to do in that vein.
