 How do you see GEASv2 as turning into a disaster, Asif? Currently the GNUe
tools are built primarily for use within the GNUe framework and we try to 
make them usable for all. What are the bad points which you have found with
GEASv1 that would need to be addressed in this revision? 
This discussion is probably more appropriate for the GNUe mailing list, which
I have CC'ed (you can subscribe & ask questions there via 
http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnue-dev ), but I am wanting to see if 
DotGNU people are willing to also look at GNUe for use with webservices, etc :)
