I have 10p you can have.  But seriously, I take your point.  
I was just wondering if anyone had written these things down.
I don't mind buying a book, if it comes with a recommendation from the people on this list.
Although, if you *did* write this stuff down, I could buy a book *from* the people on this list :)

Oh, well.

I might be able to scrape together another 10p.  

Time isn't something I have a huge amount of, either.  
For now, I'll stick with the learning and write up what I find.

I think you're right.  CheeseTracker wasn't a bad IT clone - I think I'll have a 
bash at adding a few features to that.  Probably a good place to start.  Anyone disagree?
