Enno,

it's great to notice how fast you implement suggestions :))

The column "status" is very clear, but I did not like the text "Follow me", 
and I cannot come up with some other word(s) (maybe available but abbreviated 
to (av), therefor my proposal underneath)

Just a thought,  instead of creating a special column "status" why 
not just link the "yes/no/bad" words from the import/export column?
In the .../status.html file there could be an ancor for the import and
export section, so one jumps always to the right section.
This approach is less clear than yours, I think.  Especially when the
"no" is hyperlinked.  It doesn't seem logical in that case that a status
file can be available.  Never the less I would like, but I leave it up to.

This link did not work, it actually says that the search facility is not 
ready yet (just by heart, could be something else as well)

It really shows what it can do.  Will you be able to generate and store html 
template status files in cvs?  The contents should explain that these are now 
a work in progress, etc (blah blah).  After that it is than up to the 
developers to provide the real info...  

If you can't summit to cvs who wants/can do it?
