Peter, my suggestion would be to go with ChipIn as it's a tool that's worked successfully on <a href="http://Groups.drupal.org">Groups.drupal.org</a>.<br><br>Also, I think we need to do more work on spec so people know what the would be supporting and we need to get more feedback on a spec that people would be willing to pay for it.
<br><br>Cheers,<br>Kieran<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 8/14/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Peter Apokotos</b> <<a href="mailto:drupal@apokotos.com">drupal@apokotos.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
