Hi Michael and all,

i agree with your thoughts about MikMik, it would be a nice tool to do
feedback , although yet its not entirely  sugarized. i did an early work
that's  on

http://dev.laptop.org/~rafael/MikMik-8.xo

but is not yet finished. so would be nice if somebody could help out with
this porting.

Cheers!
