Thank you for the reply.

That's one vote for a browser instead of a client. Like I said 
previously, it would be best to make all of this work server-side 
before really starting on a client. However, like I also said 
previously, it seems to me that a client could really be a killer app, 
if it's done correctly. It would, however, not be required.

That was my thought as well. Best to do as much as possible on the 
server side, I think.

That's the second offer to help. :) Thank you.

Since this is in planning, I think database and metadata experience 
would be valuable. We can worry about bandwidth and server space for 
mirrors when there's a beta of the system ready to deploy.

I have a two-week shutdown at work that I have to make my way through, 
starting on Monday. I had hoped to spend that time in Michigan with 
family, but if for some reason (involving the recent purchase of a 
home) that doesn't happen, I'll have plenty of time to work on this.

I would also like to thank everyone for their support and ideas. This 
is something that could really take off. Exciting, isn't it? :)
