hmm - don't know.. I need to do some house work today, my better half is
really expecting some painting gets done today..:)

I want to focus on the phpBB test site, this afternoon
- I won't be able to get to that for a couple more hours.
At that time I'll setup the roles/groups or NL admins/mods..so folks can
see how that would work out in this scheme.

After that, I've got a freshly VM w/ ubuntu server ready receive the
jForm install..will give it a shot and come back to this email ;-/
