Nick:

Sorry, only in review did I notice you were asking for information.

The system to which you refer is called Symposion, an open source project of a 
company called Eldarion. We'll be engaging Eldarion to provision the site. And 
the Europe one. The European thing took us a bit by surprise, but we are 
delighted that you would like us to be somehow involved. I am sure it will 
teach us a lot.

I'll have a bit more to say about track structures shortly, but the discussions 
I have seen so far have been very interesting.

regards
 Steve
