the Trakaido stats server is in the Atacama repo largely by accident.
The great refactor has begun.

it would be great to have a useful "reply-to" button.
I find that I script out an entire conversation, sometimes returning the interesting parts before the other person is ready to receive them.
after weeks in the Lithuania mines, we are back to work on Atacama.
no project is complete until there are widgets
