Yes. This would be a good idea. I think I do this already with
camram. I think you can set the stamp size in the configuration file at
the user level. I know the data is there, I just don't know if it's
accessible at the user profile.
Any suggestions on how to implement this stamp value server? Keep it
simple, leverage what we have which is a web server and simple XML RPC
standalone servers.
