I am not a designer. And looking at the archives there were designers
who wanted to contribute their work, but were turned down...

Marc, with all due respect. I already proposed some backend changes and
am willing to start working on them myself. Right now I am waiting for
someone to post the data needed to setup a local copy of the server (see
topic 'database dump needed, after all', it is not in the archives yet).

If you can be that 'someone' (I hope *you* have enough access rights?)
then please do so, I'll start hacking on the backend and will not waste
the subscribers' time until I have something to show them. Thanks in
advance.
