For the record, I find no argument with that vision and fully support it.

Also fully agreed.

I need a little help getting my PHP code to link to MySQL, but I can help 
you with the docs and the website in some way. Just help me straighten out 
two or three little issues with understanding my CSS file and my PHP/MySQL 
code and I'll be *more* than delighted to help with the docs. I've even 
learned DocBook XML recently and started producing HOWTO documents in CVS, 
precisely so that I could help RULE (remember I offered some time ago?) and 
the Linux Documentation Project.

I am also rounding up 10 low-end computers for a small public school here 
(the kids pay $11 per year for schooling), and this would be a wonderful 
way for me to deploy RULE in the next 30-45 days.

And finally, please note that I would be happy to offer more space on my 
server if you want to host the *entire* repository there, including ISO 
images et al. Lots of good bandwidth for this server, and not being fully 
utilized at the time. Happy to donate some to a good cause.

Cheers,
