Perhaps.  It just struck me that a lot of the custom bits needed here 
regardless could be built/added to the usual workflow bottom-up.  You 
don't have to assume that either a full tracker or something like my 
simple POC idea will show up at the end to get started.  Making goal #1 
involve just mining for the data that's already around and squirting it 
onto a web page would be a useful exercise, one that's likely to benefit 
any tracker adoption.
