Do it the Easy Way, or the Hard Way

At work we are planning a 2nd-hand book facility. A way for sellers & buyers to find out about each other, without us having to handle money or even do anything once the machines were running. After lots of discussions, hypotheticals, disaster planning, to-ing & fro-ing, I produced a very nice overview using Freemind & Freemindshare, & even started chatting to the database guru. Then I was shown someone else's solution to exactly the same challenge. A simple wiki. The New Web provides the answer easily, with open-source tools. Makes you feel good (once you've caught up!)

By the way, many thanks to Edubeacon for the help, & what a thorough blog
