Christian,

A *very* nice UI! Naturally, I'm interested to know if it can be made 
available to other grouper users. Can it, do you think? And might there 
be a way for the community to be able to enhance it or extend it?

A question about the dynamic groups: once a dynamic group is specified 
in the UI, where is that specification kept, what evaluates it, and when?

Have you thought about the UI design from the perspective of maybe 
extending it to eventually work with audit data, or with roles and 
permissions?

Thanks!
Tom
