whoa.  Don't have time to read all these posts because I am leaving for 
my camping trip NOW.  (Departure was a bit delayed already.)

I sincerely hope that when I come back, things are resolved and everyone 
is sufficiently satisfied.

*Please* be considerate and mindful in your interactions with other 
people in this group!  Let's try to keep the group TOGETHER, not split it 
apart.

Remember everything you learned in kindergarten...

peace, ok?

This was my assumption.  Can you acknowledge that your position here
may be difficult for others?

I may speak softer, but I am definitely in the John S. and Rich
A. camp.  My recommendation is that we go with Zope on arashi.  Also,
you are using pretty inflammatory language here... not the way one
speaks to friends.

Since when does a team member recommend abandoning part of the team.
IMO the success of every instance of group effort is more dependent on
group cohesion than the performance of individuals... 'No man is an
island', etc.

Like Stephanie says Lawrence, I think it would be a good idea to take
a bit of a break, breath deeply, and think about what we are doing and
how significant it is.  In this light, details like platform and
hosting are really not as important as developing a great tool.  In
order to develop this tool we need to work together.
