We still have the support of WM-DE in principal, and that is good. And we have two admins, and I've worked through all of the red-tape type of stuff for getting a server deployed (paperwork and whatnot). The current holdup is initial payment -- WM-DE had pledged ongoing support, but there are some setup charges that need to be paid, and I won't have funds onhand to cover these for another week or two. I'm also not sure of how long the WM-DE money flow will take, and I want to ensure I'm not eating dirt while I have to wait. :) I've also been a bit busy, concluding one project and firing up a new one, and adjusting to the new place I'm hanging my hat. I was originally hoping to have it open for business by April sometime, but my optimistic prediction is now sometime in May. I've contacted a few previous people who were interested in the Sandbox project, but I haven't got to touch base with everyone. I would say we should start discussing projects, 'cause I'd like to get a few going out of the gate. All I do ask is you start another thread though. I'd be happy to answer any further questions, though. Thanks, Gerald
