ok, about events query and so on. I've understood they wouldn't go in 0.4

Yep I know about Graph API. I just skipped some step in my

Depends on how much time each one can put in this implementation.

collaboration (let me say 4 hours a day). Maybe some one of my men can
lend a hand too, but I'm not sure at the moment, it depends on how are
project will go.

Ok, on the wire ;)
