Keith and I are reviewing options we have with our NetworkRedux cloud  
and are beginning by looking at replacing the FRS with our own upload  
and distribution system.  We plan to use the Drupal CMS and  
contributed modules to deploy this plan.  We both have such disdain  
for the constant disregard for the administrators of the SF UI that we  
have decided to try to live them behind.  Anyone wishing to help  
please let me know.
