Steady - El Viejo and myself spend a fair amount of time removing "awaiting approval" first posts that would leave "scantily-clad" looking like a description of a nun at the winner of the over-dressed-nun-of -the-year Competition.

No, it is not an OXP manager.
No, it does not cause a Thargoid invasaion of a planet.
No, it does not involve scantily clad females. (You'd never get anything of that sort from me.)
Yes, someone is playing cat and mouse games (though that has nothing to do with the surprise.)

Keep guessing!

It's an app that sits on Dragonfire's computer and will log in automatically to the BB and PM all members regularly with info about OXP new releases/updates and/or his PDF catalogue.

Ha ha, nope, Murphy. Anyway, the next catalog (the ship one) probably won't be created for a few months. Trying to get as much "real" work done as I can this summer.

Lol, none of you are even close to guessing!

(And Wildeblood, in response to your IRC question, no it doesn't do anything mean.)

Does it automate a task that we have until now performed manually?

Yes it does. :D

Will it run under any operating system?

Yes, technically. No guarantees about "any", but all the major ones.

Does it affect the game play of Oolite?

If so: Does it make playing Oolite harder or easier?

No, it does not directly affect Oolite gameplay.

Is it meant to assist in installing or configuring Oolite?

Nope.
