Hi Michael,

you seem to be scared by this long list. But you didn't hit the point this
time. It's is not a list of things that we *have* to do, but a list of list
of what we *dont't* need do, because it is done automatically for us by the
software we have already at hand. It a list of services that could make
live very easy for us.

With versioning it provides the flexiblility to support concepts of rapid
developmet quite in the sense of Python Enhancement Proposals (PEP). But it
has the advantage that we don't need to set up a completly new
infrastracture and can work with tools we are accustomed to.

Elmar
