I too am interested in this program.  Keep us posted on any bugs you find.

I am interested in if it replaces the default interface or it works in
conjunction with.  Basically meaning will the default still work and I can
just give this info to the client instead of the default cobalt GUI.

I also noticed that you charge for multi-user version.  Does that mean if
one wants to use it on a raq server to provide in turn to their clients the
interface will be somewhat different.  Meaning will their be a superuser
(serveradmin level) then siteadmin (clients).

It's early so if I'm not making sense excuse me.
