Hi Frank, Miguel, Jorge and all the others.
Great idea! As far as I can see, this would be a good solution. Thanks!
What do you think about this, developers?

Best regards,

I do not know, what the ressources are, but there are other very small projects who are doing so. I hope that you are not annoyed by what I am writing. I just try to understand the issue.
