This landed in that sweet spot where we ask "do we get to play with it _and_
have fun?"

I am with Mark Nickel on terms of "understand, haven't done," as perhaps are
others.

Keeping an eye on the forces which govern development on the site, though, I
can also perceive other risks which may need to be investigated before we
put fingertip to keyboard. Not being raised on the milk and honey of
thecode, however, I may as well be naive as to what these are, precisely. 

I think that a relevant and initial question in a decision about UEUE might
be: do we need a solution to a problem right away, or can we develop
something which will benefit evolt, but take our time to learn it and play
for fun?
