Understood, and agreed! I think we can all agree that either of our top CMS choices solves this 
issue readily.

Longterm expansion is something I've had in mind since the conversation began. I'm not sure I 
always communicated it effectively, but I have certainly been thinking about it from the start.

I'm also a big supporter of integrating the LibO application with online resources--at least a year 
ago I wrote and presented an "OOo Dashboard" concept that attempted to address this, and I will 
refresh and share it again in the near future, for LibO this time.
