And right now another add-on I'd like is a WYSIWIG map configuration tool so I can layout the 2d map with a mouse! BUT, that's another thread. Might have to look into what 3.0 will get us, as I'm sure its worth the money regardless but I'm trying right now to sell the company on the value of opensource. :)
