As you can see I am Roo, author the above linked article relating to Freelancer.
I am glad to see the article was extremely well recieved. A few people have asked me recently why I wrote the article. Simple really... I was a Freelancer Server Admin, a player, a modder and I was one of the founding Admins on The Starport (also mentioned above).
I was offered a chance to write about something I strongly believed in and as such, I wrote about the Global FL Community.
Now to answer your question about the source code. I can promise you, it won't happen. I am sorry. The feature wasn't intended for that purpose anyway. There will be more, and I will continue to speak for the community whenever I have a chance.
