no worries, I think having smart hacks for anyone to use is not
preventing anyone of solving things later in a more fundamental way

apart from helping each other (you might get useful feedback as well), I
think in fact that sharing solutions like these just helps us
understanding the various ways people are starting to use the Daisy CMS

additionally, it allows solutions to mature before implementing them in
the core

would be cool if you could make some description about it on the
scratchpad-wiki (let us know your registration-name if you need any
edit-rights there)

you could attach any tarball with common shared code or reference a
download-point as you see fit
