Like the US Dept of Labor WorkForce Connections project, this is a nice (meaning innocuous) example of how FLOSS work in one domain can benefit entirely different domains of endeavour.

Tim, For software generator R+D projects like OIO, gaining opportunities to generate software for real applications is essential. People who download and try OIO are truly our research subjects and potential collaborators (once they provide feedback). We don't provide monetary compensation for their time and labor but we offer free software. This is also why I occasionally volunteer to produce custom web-applications (e.g. OSHCA.Org). Of course, sometimes even free software + free service are not sufficient inducements. :-) Recently, we launched a web-based practice management system effort to serve a network of 3 clinics; you can read about this collaboration here: http://www.txoutcome.org/scripts/zope/development/wrap We started in January and should be in production by next week.
