I may be able to have a part in the above, 'coz I have the expertise and
the hardware.
Don't knock PHP3 as a server side development language - it's a nice
Apache module. Server side scripts are nicer than offline stuff since you
can pull of neat tricks such as autodetecting browser types and spewing
out the correct HTML variant (suckish as it is that the browsers aren't
compatible...)

It's a poor language, but better than ASP or Cold Fusion!

Oh, I'd love to do that, but I won't have the time :-(

I have to work on my own ARGOT compiler anyways :-)
