Shari, Richmond, et al,

In my opinion the most useful thing we can provide are some truly  
well conceived and implemented "templates" so that our newest users  
have something that works right out of the box and can be modified to  
suit their specific needs. I suspect that five or six different  
templates would cover pretty much the whole spectrum of "potential"  
efforts. Also, doing something like this would be a lot more fun and  
less subject to bickering, criticism.
