Great.  We'll just switch it to the solution Vidoop (my company) is
baking after the first of the year then.  I'm saying that a bit tongue
in cheek but I think you get my point.

I'm actually -1 to this ... lord knows Google spends enough on this
already ... :-)  Again, I'm not proposing to fund the creation of open
source software for the sake of open source software; I'm saying let's
make the membership software vendor neutral and release the results as
open source.
