Just as a minor aside, there's often a tendency amongst programmers to
reinvent the wheel - I've been guilty of it myself on a few occasions. A
better way to go might be to get a few interested developers together
and add the functionality that you're missing to Uraga.

It shouldn't take too long to get up to speed, and the main developer of
whichever package you choose will probably be glad of the help :)
