I agree, if we pick one app, I would prefer Jonah as well. I hadn't  
thought of Thomas being a different front end though..could almost be  
just an alternate View of Jonah...but then that begs the question,  
what would Thomas add other than what could be accomplished by using  
different templates in Jonah?
