Hi,

Thanks for posting this document. I had a read through and it increased my interest in the project.

I had trouble viewing the picture at the top of page 3. In both OpenOffice and Microsoft Word, it appeared as a black box. Fiddling with the background colors in Word, I found it had a few text boxes that said, "QuickTime? and a TIFF (LZW) decompressor are needed to see this picture."

We stay on a 40 acre small holding in Floyd County, VA--you can see some pictures at www.thomasphotos.wordpress.com. I'm hoping that we can get involved in testing some of your ideas as they develop. Money and time are tight enough that we have to be parsimonious about what we can offer, but I promise that I will be reviewing your products as we start each new project. I'm sure that at one point the risk and cost of your open source developments will be lower than the other alternatives, and we can get involved.

Thanks for all your efforts,
