I cannot speak for 1), because it covers too many areas which I have not been involved with.

But 2) can probably be retrieved through the HTTP API: :read-attribute(name=<product-name|product-version>)

It's currently not set on master, but I would expect it to be there on a final build. On Jan 11, 2012, at 4:24 PM, Max Rydahl Andersen wrote: > 1) how was this in the end implemented ?
