It was a discussion about the same issues we were discussing here. I
wrote a script to parse some rss news from different sites, and played a
bit with máirín's designs to create what you can see in this link ->
http://juankprada.livejournal.com/4805.html (now that i look back to
that post i see you were one of the people who liked what i did, Mike).
If you really want the comments on the list i could only find this link
(i didnt really search)

I talked to ricky about that idea and we both agreed that it would be
good to make the changes but it would be better to wait till some
changes on the infrastructure (im still not sure i understood what he
said) so i keep waiting (thats why im in a rush for stop talking and
start working).

So this all goes to the starting point in which i said we lack of
leadership. If somebody has an idea that could make a change then who
decide if it is ok or not?... we are not even voting for such things and
so we comment about those ideas here on the ml and some people dislike
the idea and then thats all for it. Even if lots of people support your
idea, when two or three dislike it then nothing is done.

Now quaid is/was working on something similar and i support him as i
would really like such features to appear on the website, and im pretty
sure that he started to work on that feature because (just like me and
probably a lot more people in here) he saw the need of it on the
website.

As you said idea's != change, but so, this is the prove that something
similar to what i did needs to be done, as im not the only one thinking
about such feature.
