I don't want to say when it's ready, but don't expect it before new years...
In the next two weeks I'll be updating most of my servers, so there'll be
little time for OpenVDS.

If someone has it, send it to Urivan or Me so we can upload it on the
fileservers.

Making this would be moving the source in the hands of everyone (java
decompiling). Another option is to use some helper programs (namely vsdadm)
that will carry the necessary tasks (maybe in batch), intead of having the
php scripts connecting directly. This will require a major rewrite I guess.
