David responded to me directly, but I thought others might like to
see this (and he told me it was ok to post this), particularly those
of us who are "non-commercial" should take a close look!  It is impressive
looking.

David, be sure I'm interpreting you correctly.  Do you need to clarify
what is "non commercial"?  Does that do it yourself (in-house development)
shops working for not-for-profits or government?  This seems a "too good
to be true" type of thing.

I'm excited.  If we could marry this with web content management tools
we could move ahead a lot faster than we have been.

Cheers,
Richard
