Jason,

Good point.

I was not aware of the ndt-dev ml.

Is there anybody in particular we should contact, to make sure the proposed change does not conflict with anybody else's work?

Colliding two worlds.

In the future mlab-ops should be sure to let ndt-dev know of changes like this since there are a lot more hands in the ndt code these days.

I briefly chatted with Thomas a few days ago and he said he could do it
(with some help from you) by the end of this week.

@Thomas,
Is it still the case?

   Hi Tiziana,

   I think this sounds like a great idea. These are pretty simple changes
   that I could probably make pretty easily, but as I'll be out of town for
   the first half of next week I'm not sure if I'll have time to do it on
   that timeframe, so if someone else is able to to they should feel free
   to take pass at it.
