I assume (as per my previous post and question) that you are talking about the contribs.org/SME distribution here and not another body specifically called SME Server Inc ??? If so regarding contribs.org I can advise as follows : > - Where is SME Server, Inc currently located? > There is no incorporated body for contribs.org/SME > - Is there any URL out there where we can look the official > incorporation terms of SME Server, Inc?

None, apart from a few dollars in the PayPal account which is used to help pay for Shads server infrastructure that hosts contribs.org (and we are seriously in his debt right now) > > - What is the current financial status/position of SME Server, Inc? > Absolutely f*cking dire.... ;-) Essentially there is no structure or organisation or management of contribs. Hence I am trying to sort something out so we can make some proper proposals for the future management of SME. As there are no rules, I can really do what I want :-) Just the same as anyone else. If you read some of the recent list discussions, and the wiki page on the future of SME that I wrote, you will see that I didn't really choose to do 'lead' this, but no one else stood up. I suggested some things there, and seeing as no one objected, I have got on with the job. As I mentioned previously, I should be able to announce some ideas for discussion later this week. Nothing is fixed, or definite. No 'decisions' have been made. But we have made a little progress. I look forward to posting soon. B.
