Kevin -

  The main todo item for functional usage of the Project code is 
the form handling, and using Turbine for authentication & database
connection.  Some of these other issues go to style more than function.

  Before I agree to use Turbine for the database creation, I need to 
make sure that Turbine can handle the kind of metadata description
that I have made.  I described the database creation process in detail
when I first began this, explaining that the database is automatically
generated and traversed using specific metadata - I will have to 
determine if Turbine can provide this.  There is no intermediate
generation of scripts -- I directly create the database and subsequently
use the same meta description for the management of the data.  MySQL and
Postgres are both handled at the present time.

  I also need to take a fresh look at the APIs provided by JetSpeed
to properly determine the benefit and effort required to integrate
into the JetSpeed framework.  I do intend to take advantage of the
Turbine authentication and database connections.
