I wasn't suggesting we work on seperate projects, more that we devide
the project as we suggested early on... Rich does the client and I the
server.

I also wasn't suggesting using MySQL at all and I don't think that it
would be a good idea to use both.  In the future, we could use Zope to
talk to a MySQL (or similar RDBMS) database if we happen to acquire
some data that way and for some reason or another we can't import into
ZODB.  I think Rich has said as well that he is ok using Zope.
