I'll take a look at those links when I get a chance.  Briefly, I'd  
like to see this be truly cross platform (or platform neutral).  Most  
churches that even have a computer use a windows machine.  Poor  
churches that are blessed with a computer geek may use Linux instead.   
Other's (such as mine) have been gifted with a couple Macs (before the  
macs we were a linux based mission).  As I mentioned, it needs to be  
intuitive enough for novice users to use.  Most of those novices will  
probably be on Winboxes of various kinds.
