Just to clarify, as someone who has some familiarity with Gerry's 
project - he's doing further development of a commercial application, 
not looking for an open source solution to a problem.  Fortunately, I'm 
glad to say he's quite interested in using open source tools to develop 
and run that application - largely because his current solution (MS 
Access) doesn't scale to where he needs to go with it.

Gerry's a nice guy, with a good product to base work for the project 
on.  If I had the time I'd work with him on it.  :)  It should be a good 
opportunity for someone with a web-app background.
