| The best, in my mind, would be to build a general purpose example app,

| other kinds of dedicated apps.
Agree! that would be great.

| AdressBook stuff, in using, on the client-side, a standard desktop
| dedicated AdressBook stack converted in a Metacard-based AdressBook
| front-end and, on the server-side, a PostgeSQL-based AdressBook
| back-end.
An impressive spirit of volunteerism, for which we'd be very
grateful, merci!

Seems like someone out there would have something they could
contribute? If not, we could do something very simple. I am
thinking, for a beginning application, simpler the better.
Such as a single record data base with just a few typical
fields, name, address, phone, email etc.

| reasons). Could you
| find an host interested in supporting this part of the project ?

Well, that might be me. It would be ideal if I could get this
going at work, but my home server may suffice for the time
being (if we can live with MC 2.4 as the cgi engine).
We could at least start there. MC is installed in
/usr/local/bin, so what do you need, Pierre, just an ssh
account?
