First, thanks to the team for a great project. This system has the potential to replace commercial ARS systems with the technology we (all?) carry in our pockets anyway. Set up requires some trial and error esp for those not familiar with MySQL set up but once the code settles down I'm sure a screen cast will be published to help. I'd love for them to publish the source for the iPhone App and or develop a native android app too! btw spec suggests requires Java 1.5 + I needed 1.7 to run under OS-X 10.8.3 but that could just be the Apple java I had installed(!)
