I bow to your greater experience and wisdom :-)

Ah! I didn't explain myself well enough. I meant, "why does it have to
be part of lunar/theedge *NOW* while it is being developed?" lcer could
start out as a standalone module while it was being debugged, which would
avoid any problems integrating it into lunar/theedge, or needing someone
to wave the dead goat on sofar's behalf. In the long term I agree that
it should be part of the lunar tools.

I like sofar's module submission system and queue page. It's much better
than user contributions going past on the mailing list and then getting
forgotten about. However, it's unfortunate that a developer has to login
to doppio to be able to run the review script, when most of the submissions
probably require testing on a local desktop first. From my experience, it
makes for a bit of a weird workflow, but I can't see how to improve it:
