I think it wouldn't hurt to try and 'ask' the Active developers, which
would be Andy at cat mostyl, though, there is a whole lot of them. THere
is a list on cat for active dev or something towards whom you *could*
address the request.
I suspect that the normal course of events would be more likely to be :
- some particular IMC needs something
- that IMC finds the tech resource to modify their local version of Active
- eventually the changes are incorporated into the 'core' version of Active
Talking to DadaIMC people would be abit silly because they are working
on a totally different code base, so the feature request may or may not
make sense in that context.
No obvious solutions for you I'm afraid other than - 'learn Perl/PhP' or
find a way to get somebody with the time and technical know how involved
and motivated.
Some of the people on this list might be able to do it, I dont wanna be
too pessismistic.

It could be I've directed this feedback to the wrong
place. Is this something that needs to be changed in
the Active backend rather than something we can
change just for our site?
If that's the case, who is the appropriate person to
redirect the suggestions to? Andy at CAT? The DadaIMC
developers? Both? Someone else?
