Hi Robert,

before discussing details I'd like to get a more clear idea of user tasks involved
and to write a brief document about it. I'm sorry if this is taking a lot of time,
but I'm being busy with way too many things. I hope to have something by the end of the week.
Btw thanks a lot for the work you are doing.

Marco
