it was quite exciting to see the beginning of these talks, 'cause that
thought had been troubling me during the past year up to the point that i
had to write and structure some notes about it last week .. that first
draft viewable at http://studio.kyperjokki.fi/engine/PythonBlender

comments & criticism etc. about that :o , and can try to develop it 
further if it's considered useful (i wonder how far that 'underground 
movement' is and in doing what..)
