At first I think Chris January an I should have admin rights (if Chris January 
doesn't deny this). What is with you Dave: Do do you see your role in this 
project ( I Know I asked this some time in a private mail, but it may be that 
your available time has changed :-) )

I think at least project web space is good.   
I'l start a new thread were we can discuss how to migrate.

Steven, we have no problem with this. I was often in the same situation, much 
motivated, with a specific experience and coming to a new project with people 
working much longer on. If you are experienced with mysql and php or know 
another good cms feel free to install it on the qtwin project space and 
import the qt3-win32 content. 
Please be aware, that you sometime may be on the ledging edge, what means 
there may be noone who can help you in a specific part. 

Regards 
Ralf
