Yeah, I'm going to set my own up tonight and start poking around. If I can
start implementing things on it, I'll just keep doing so. It pains me to give
up rails' niceties, but I'd rather improve the BTS than start from scratch. If
I find that I can't penetrate the code (which I doubt, it looks fine from what
I've seen) then we'll see.
