Hi Hiroki,
Thanks for the feedback!. Sadly i cannot handle this request since i
do not understand enough of the XSLT and such to be able to do so.
If you have any great ideas you are free to use the current usergroups
that i rewrote to make it perfect. Ofcourse i would like to helpout and
learn from it.
This is also for any other person that has wishes. My clue about this is
too little :-).
Cheers!
