I had a dozen requests in 5 minutes :).  I've sent it to everyone that
asked, but you probably won't see it in a public place for another month
I think.  For the time being I've put a few up at my other company site
hidden, here are a couple of urls you can look at:

The only thing I ask is that you send me a pirvate message and let me
know what you think, and also, don't spread it beyond this list :).

Yes, but it's open source.  The idea with this, like many other open
source projects that need to make money is that you are selling the
services and convenience.  things like online banking, the box with the
easily installable software, the manual, all that fun stuff.  The
packaging hasn't been finalized yet or any of the other little details
:).

Thanks - we do have our initial product PowerPlant, which we would love
everyone to go out and buy, or buy from us, it helps us continue working
:).  Some of what we do is commercial like PowerPlant, some of what we
do is for the community like VeePee.  You will start to hear us talk
more openly about our projects as they actually become available, we
really dislike pre-announcing things if there isn't at least something
available to try.  You should start seeing more from us in the next
month.
