Cool!

I made the mistake of ignoring my OSM-talk mail for a few days, I'm  
really happy to see that people are thinking of ways to work with  
Walking Papers. I've been building up some steam to work on another  
set of change requests, now's the time to ask if you have a pet  
feature you'd like to see added. =)
