Years ago there was a discussion about new features; Martijn and Michael
("Grisu") did a lot of work. One could even download a test system to work
with. It would be very nice to reanimate this effort and launch the new
system.
The new system did actually run for a while, but it was mostly
as effort by me & grisu. It had a lot of nifty features, but most
of the feedback I got was focussed on the login (people apparently hate
OpenID). That together with a machine that kept failing and lack of
interest by others basically led it to being essentially abandoned. And I
now definitely don't have the time to get it working again.
