Jordi, 

BTW I see the code for Scipy-Central [1] is Free and available from GitHub [2].
Scipy central may be less appealing to the eye than Agora, but it has most of
the features we want in Agora and has been up and runing for at least two years
now. Should we consider setting up a working version of "Agora" based on their 
code?
