It's pretty certain that this is a go. I have a proposal - 3 pieces which I would like to share with anyone that has an interest in helping me get this through. I plan on sending this to the board of directors for their approval on Tuesday. The first part is a generalized overview of where I am going (open source) and that can be seen at: or for StarOffice/OpenOffice I tried to send this to the list yesterday but as an attachment (yes, I know that was a bad thing but I thought that most of you would be interested in at least reading through it). I was hesitant about putting up a link on my server but I guess that's the way it has to be. Anyway... Anyone have any recommendations/suggestions that can help improve upon this? I plan to retain this, continue to embellish and make it available to any others who want to make similar proposals to their companies or clients... Craig
