Yes, we really need a dump of the database and a copy of the web-dir would be 
great, too. I wrote to Jason Lucas directly this afternoon and asked him to 
send me a copy. I hope his mail is still active and he answers it soon.

I agree with the last point here. Many users prefer forums to ask questions 
and discuss/request new features or so. On the other hand, a forum is a bit 
hard to maintain. For us developers it's not easy to keep track of the 
information we want to have. So the forum needs moderators, guys answering 
users questions, someone to add bug-reports/feature-requests to the 
tracker,... 

bye then
