Doug,

Thanks for the post to the lists. I am excited to hear the responces 

Here is the link Matt set up at BlueLinux. Please notice the "How would
you categorize the contribution:" The system allows you to customize the
competencies. This feature is great for list moderators to undertant the
type of questions being asked and their ratings.

The link is long but it is the only way we can track the individual
discussions and lists. If you click on the link you will see that Matt
is giving 5% to the Gnome Foundation and 5% to KDE. If Schoolforge or
Seul doesn't want the money or have doesn't have the mechanism to
receive it we can always give it to a school. I just added one in North
Carolina. See the Link below.

The Banks school is looking for 50 new computers.

I think what I am trying to say is lets just try the system and see if
it works.
