Re: [mh] Where next with MisterHouse

I agree, there are some people who would contribute if they could write 
in some newer language, and I see no issue with starting something new.  
However, I also think the userbase would be far larger/happier if it 
were possible to connect the two apps so it wasn't necessary to choose 
between new-but-feature-poor and legacy-and-feature rich.  There are 
enough ways to get things in and out of MH that it shouldn't be a big 
feat to make them play nice together.
