I like the idea of JSON config for this too, but then again config groups maybe be better as it keeps all configuration together and in the same format. Operators would prefer that I'd say.

So, I guess you'd have to dynamically create the config groups with cell name as the group name… and have some sort of global option or an option in a different config group that specifies the list of cells.  I think it just gets kinda nasty.  But let me know if I'm missing a good way to do it.  It seems like JSON is going to be a little more flexible. :)
