Hi Charlie: this is going to take 2 things - money and developers. Money you say you can get. this is a great thing. I think if the carrot is dangled, people with experience and expertise will come to the party. As long as the opensource concepts of free software and open development/consultation continue, this will be a good initiative. I highly urge that nothing be done until Kirk Reiser and Janina get back from Toronto and can have input into this - they will both have useful things to say. Geoff.
