We'll run it by hand to begin with while we judge how many people are
actually going to use a booking system. We'll need some form of
qualification process I think.

I was imagining that we'd all have individual userids and there's be a
way to lock everybody else off while you're doing testing, but then let
others back on when in Open Access mode for test prep.

That's a long time. Not like you can't come back for more. ;-)
But if that's the conditions of sale...

The main issue is probably the disk space for setup. We should be able
to have smaller databases setup alongside each other without too much
problem.

Yup.

I'd like somebody at Sun to be responsible for the OS, so that we know
we've got the latest patch set, kernel tweaks etc. Maybe via a monthly
admin window?
