The meeting with Zephyr went extremely well.  It is still amazing to me how 
much they (HQ) are willing to roll with whatever we throw at them.   Here are 
a few quick things before I head off to bed.

- I recieved fairly detailed design instructions from Zephyr for the Talent 
Database web app. She wants it a bit more complicated than what we had 
expected. Here is the design doc she typed up: 
http://www.hack4dean.org/txt/frontroom.doc   - more on this later...

- Node hosting as we had planned looks to be out.  We cannot raise our own 
money - if we became a PAC we couldnt coordinate at all with HQ, we would 
become useless.   They cannot pay for the hosting unless the sites became 
official.  However, it is expected that there will be ISP's willing to offer 
to host and help set up the tools for communities who want to use them (for a 
price of course).  This would get us halfway there (if the ISP's set up the 
scripts and we just had to teach them how to admin it).  More on the later....

- This project means a lot to the campaign.  They are very much so counting on 
us.  When the tools are ready they will do whatever they can to incorporate 
what we have done with the campaign.  They are also open to suggestions  / 
help with the main DFA site.  Got ideas?

- It looks like I will be moving to Burlington in a month.  I will know for 
sure Friday.  I am very excited to say the least, albeit quite a bit tired 
right now.

So - we will decide the name for the network by Thursday correct? - thats the 
deal, no?

Talk to you all later,
-Zack
