The database is supposed to be on the same server anyway. So your wet lab people 
just need a browser :)

Besides, nothing in the Brickit stack is depending on Unix. Python, Django, etc 
are all available for Windows as well. So, it should definitely be also possible 
to turn a Windows system into a Brickit server. I don't know why anyone would 
want to do that but, I guess, living in Seattle can be accepted as excuse ;)

Tell me how it goes!
Greetings,
Raik
