Thanks for the feedback.

It's available from the BTS, but part of the interesting data also lies
on the other end of the link. So, instead of implementing another
completely separate application, I think it may still be interesting to
start from bts-link. But I agree that it may be better to separate the
concerns.

Depending on the amount of data that the program will need to process
and how it evolves, it may well be better separated from the code,
running as a quite separate later step in the cron.

In any case, this all depends on the details, which are still unclear to
me until the design is performed (by the students ;). I'll try to
minimize the impact inn any case.

I'm not sure about you're last sentence: you meant "could be, but may
not need to" ?
