Wow!  So you guys are barred from even looking at this as a "research
publication" i.e. publish or perish or even a cost recovery model?

Brian,

Thanks for sending this to the list.  Ummm...Is this a "serious"
RFP/RFI?  I see the word updated, apparent issue date of 8/17/2006, and
submittal dates of 8/28/2006.  That's a major effort for even a "full
time vendor" to try and comply with let alone surmount the unspoken open
source barriers in this RFP/RFI. As nmap says, "A worthy challenge."
Having created an RFP last year and gone through the selection process
November 2005, I think this is more interesting from a "Will phpWebSite
work for me?" type of question.

Regards,
Greg
