Hi,

This is bad and makes us dependent.

This does not offer us much flexibility.

Fine.

We must have some say with regards to all contents (so that we are allowed to 
migrate away later taking _all_ contents with us) and also we need some say 
with regards to the branding/advertizing.

> What do you think? IMHO this sounds quite good.

I am not really impressed. In addition the fact that fm belongs to  va 
software is not a plus.

IMHO the best solution would be to move everything including the code from 
a.k.c to a.k.o.

Yours,
