The acquisitions client that LibLime is working on ??? I don't remember 
hearing anything about a new acq client before this mail. Could you 
explain a little bit more ?
Isn't there a risk to overlap with what we are working on atm ?

I'm sure I won't have any problem with that too. The client want a 
feature, he isn't interested how it is writen.

meaningfull silence from "anybody"...

I agree it's not a good solution as well.
