  Fair 'nuff. I thought you did, but it's stuff that has to be said once 
in a while, anyway.

I've got a bit of MySQL background. My time is still limited, so I 
won't commit to coding I can't depend on myself to finish -- but if you 
want someone to help out on DB design and stuff, I'm in. I'll do what I 
can and maybe help avoid some of the potholes. I'd like to see this, 
too.
