[Radiance-general] Re: trans dashboard widget

[Jack de Valpine]

Hi Andy,

Let me know if I can help. I guess a web based would be the most widely 
accessible. I would certainly be willing to take a look widgets on 
Ubuntu Linux. I would also be happy to help out on a web based version 
as well and provide hosting presuming the hosting environment is suitable.

Best,

-Jack

I'd be happy to share what I have with anyone who wants to create the same for another operating system, but I don't have easy access to windows 7 or a linux box, so I can't do that myself.
