Rich and all:

I just talked with Fred at ibilio (MetaLab) who requested that you
get in touch with him regarding details of setting up the resources we
need.
Your idea of using phpMyAdmin to get us up and running to the point
where we can start 
configuring the database and entering data is what we need.

ibiblio already runs MySql and PHP.

The ibiblio folks you'll need to work with are:
