This is not production ready. It is currently in production, but only on
my clients sites, and I fix things as they pop up. As I say in the
README, we're working on a major rewrite that should make it much more
usable to others (one of the goals).
Feel free to contact me with any questions and/or comments. I take
constructive criticism very, very well, and would really like it if
anyone could use this at all.
I will likely not have the new version production ready for a couple of
months. Paying gigs keep getting in the way.
