Hello science in TAOO [long]

[MisterX]

well part of the reason I brought this into the open is to get help with
making this work in body and soul ;)

If I do it alone, I can get a large part done (given time) but without
other's input, it wont be as useful for others... 

at least that's the spirit behind :)

cheers
Xavier
