My offer was to make sure it ran and was available, so it would not have to be 
without me. However, there are people who should have no problems working 
with it. Samuele Pedroni has written large parts of the application and there 
are several people at Strakt who could have given a hand. Other people could 
also rather easily get to understand the inner workings. Personally, I think 
the learning curve is a lot less steep than with the Zope/Archetypes solution 
we ran 2 years ago.

The invoice solution is intergrated with my application, with invoices 
generated in HTML. If it is of any help, the invoice template for nevow is 
enclosed.

The badges were built using Reportlabs rml2pdf-tool, which is not opensource. 
I don't think Andy will mind giving you a copy though. The sourcefiles needed 
to generate the badges are enclosed.

Which was a makeshift solution that I was ashamed of.

Good. They were true at the time of writing. I admire the efforts you, Paul, 
Harald and some other people are making to save the situation. However that 
does not change the fact that there are lessons to remember for next year.

Done. To make sure nobody interprets this as me having Dario wait for 
information, I sent the response within 30 hours of receiving his email. It 
took some time to gather the necessary information.
