I had thought about that right after I'd mentioned it... I'm just an
"integration junkie", I guess (G).  No point in making this harder to
organize than necessary.  I will ask them if a)there's a Linux/Unix version
in the works and b) if they'd be willing to donate a block of licenses in
exchange for a credit line (you'd be surprised how effective that is).  

Also, there may be other groupware/collaboration software out there.  I know
that Delphi offers free web based chat/board services.  That would mean that
all we'd really need to run off of "our" servers would be a FTP server or
equivalent.  

There are all sorts of options out there... and this may be jumping the gun
a bit, but the sooner we can establish a home base, the easier it will be to
organize.
