Ok, I've created a "carrier-neutral" mailing list on yahoogroups to
house people who are interested in such a system.
Interested developers and such should subscribe to
cktid@yahoogroups.com. We can start discussions on what's out there, how
to integrate things, possibly create a sourceforge project, etc.
It seems everyone wants one, but no one's got one completed (other than
Excel spreadsheets).
